deep black pour, nice thick crewamy beige head. Huger aroma of chocolate, and coffee, a superb porter.

Notes from October 2009 This bottle is more then a year old I think,or maybe it's the new one I bought. No BB date, so how would I know. Sephiroth sent one of these to me before Hoppin Frog came into town. Pint glass. A tan & cocoa-lined cascade that eventually settles & stiffens into a rigid pop-marked hockey puck of khaki-colored goo. Matte black, brown leather-lined body. Piercingly sharp old world porter scent of macerated raisins & figs. I didn't expect that. Chocolate malt, sticky beer residue, burnt sugar, & a medium strength roast. Toasty dry malt upfront. A touch tangy(more old school), riding into bittersweet char & ever increasingly heavy roast. A subtle sugar coat that's pretty new & fun for me. Dry, slightly crusty finish with some light espresso that is evident in both the new & old bottles. A little too stoutly, but still pretty nice. Powdered, low-fat milk texture. Slightly watered down, though rich enough to roll. Carbonation is very low, but pricks up near the end. Besides one bottle being a little more heavy with it's roast, I really can't tell them apart. Good stuff. :)

Bottle at home from Kris Wines. Dar brown almost black with nice creamy tan head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, malty. Taste very chocolatey sweet but with a nice bitterness at the end. Ultra smooth in the mouth. Very nice.
