12 oz. bottle on 10/24/208. Deep clear mahogany body, long lasting rocky tan head, and rings of lace with each swallow. Coffee, unsweetened chocolate, hints of licorice, and a little spruce. Dark molasses brings brings a fleeting sweetness, but the bitterness contributed by dark roasted malts and piney hops are the mainstays of the flavor. medium to full body, light carbonation, noticeable astringency, and a very long, pleasingly bitter finish. This could easily be mistaken for a stout. Very good, one of the best porters I’ve had in a long time.

12 oz bottle pours black with a great tan head. Lots of coffee, burnt sugar, caramel, and chocolate in the aroma. Coffee, roast malt, toast, slightly bitter chocolate with a great mouthfeel. Slightly thick with a great finish.

Six pack from Gary’s in Madison, NJ. Very smooth and (obviously) robust porter that pours a pretty dark brown with a mild tan head. Has a bit of a sweet tinge to the flavor but has a wonderful bitter snap at the back end. Highly enjoyable porter.

a damn fine porter. pours a dark brown color with a nice thick brown head. aroma was sweet and full of roasted malt. flavor was creamy and sweet. had a slightly hoppy coffee finish. over all a fantastic brew.

Sweet chocolate roastiness in the nose. Opaque black with a ruby glow around the edges of the glass. Rich creamy mouthfeel with a mineral bitterness on the finish. Notes of milk chocolate, caramel, and hint coffee. Cheers!
