AROMA: Moderate scents of malt, dark chocolate, and medium-roast coffee. As the beer warms, I start to get minor scents of hazelnuts and dried grass.
APPEARANCE: Pours an opaque black with a short (1-finger), medium-tan, tightly frothed head that dissipates slowly with excellent lacing.
TASTE: Moderately bitter with moderate sharpness. Flavors of dark-roasted espresso, unsweetened dark chocolate and cocoa nibs. The finish is slightly dry with the espresso flavor being the last thing remaining. As the beer warms it loses some of its bitterness and sharpness, which results in the flavors becoming a little muddled. When the beer was cold, I could taste each flavor individually and distinctly.
MOUTHFEEL: Full-bodied with a slightly rough/tacky texture. Carbonation is average. About the only improvement I would suggest is for a touch more creaminess in the body.
OVERALL: This is a strange beer for me because I enjoyed the flavors more when it was cold, but enjoyed the aromas more when it was warmer. While I found that conundrum a little odd, I still greatly enjoyed the beer and would happily buy it again.

Big roast, nice hops, bitter cocoa powder, and some light soy. Silky mouthfeel, low bitterness and a great roasty finish. Just a solid overall great Porter. Perfect example of the style.

Bottle from a supermarket in Brookings, Oregon. Aroma is dark malt, caramel, coffee, soft roast, chocolate, hint of vanilla. Flavour is medium sweet and light to moderate bitter. Body is medium. Simply an allround good Porter.

Pours mahogany tinged black into an English pint. Tan micro head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Dark chocolate, soy and licorice aromas. Soft with dark espresso and chocolate covered pit fruit upfront turning to charred espresso and licorice in the medium length finish.

Can, 0.355l, courtesy of CanCrusher. Aroma of grass, roasted malt, nuts and mild coffee. Pours pitch black color with huge soapy light brown head and nice lacing. Taste starts with mild sweet and rich roasted malt and coffee, following is nutty with bitter chocolate and dried fruity note, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is average bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Black beautie…
