12oz bottle pours dark mahogany with short lived mocha head. The mold aroma has notes of dark roasted malts, earthiness and a quick faint pulse of black licorice. The taste is similar with various thin layers of dark to burnt malts, mild earthiness and chocolate as well as faint caramel malts. It ends smooth and somewhat dry. Nice stuff.

On tap at the St. Benedict Oktoberfest on 09/18/2009. Dark black body with a medium frothy dark tan head. Sweet chocolate, roast and light caramel aroma. Sweet chocolate and dry roast flavor. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

tap @ OTH. Pours brown, off white head. Reminded me a lot of a porter. Aroma, strong roasted malt nose, some light chocolate. Flavor, similar to aroma, roasted malts, grainy, medium carbonation, mocha / chocolate mouthfeel, light bitter hop finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a large dark brown head - looks quite like a stout. The aroma was bitter, roasty and malty with notes of chocolate and vanilla. The flavor was dryish, bitter and roasty with moderate coffee and a touch of cocoa. The finish was medium length, dry, bitter and roasty. The body was fairly thick and full. Much more like a stout than an alt.

I wish that beers would say what style they are. It turns out that heritage ale is a porter, who’d have known? The bottle is dark and it says ale. Brown 12 0z bottle. Hey, the E in ale is actually a T if you look closely this means it is really an Alt! Pours very dark transp[arent brown and red. Smells like a roasty stout or porter. Expecting bitterness on the taste buds but it is mysteriously missing. Has a citrusy orange or candy hint in there too. I want to say this is complex but I am not qualified to do so. Finish is a tad hoppy/malty with a less than medium bitter linger. If you like porters or mild stouts you better seek this out.
