From Jan 2007
Poured from 22oz bottle a very dark brown bordering on black. There's a huge tannish head that stays for the entire session.
The smell is a good strong serving of chocolate that's quite inviting.
The taste is of hot chocolate up front, with coffee notes moving in quickly bringing some quite bitter flavours to the table. Hmm...a few more sips in and there's some hops in the background that slowly make their way up the ladder and have a more pronounced presence but I'm kind of not liking the way it clashes with the chocolate. Still, it's a good Porter.
Bottom line: I got to try this interesting Porter thanks to Wasatch.
It's pretty good but not one I'd readily seek out.

Old rating. Lots of chocolate and roasted malt. Light on the palate with more roasty. Easy drinking porter, but doesn’t really stand out.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a semi-dark soft brown color with a thin finger’s worth of off white foamy head. Spider web lace.
The aroma had milk and dark chocolate, delicate roast. Sly coffee far underneath.
The flavor lends a hand to the sweet side initially and then as it warms, some roast and coffee comes through. Balanced somewhat of an aftertaste. Quick dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. Nice ABV and feels appropriate.
Overall, nice porter worthy of more pours.

Sampled on draft at Hou Thou this beer poured a black color with orange highlights and a large creamy tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was toasty with malted milk and vanilla cream. The flavor was sweetish with cola, vanilla, cocoa and malted milk. Long finish. Moderately full bodied and rather creamy. Solid.

A reddish brown porter with a thin light moka head. A sweet funky chocolate malt aroma, nuttella notes, a bit of mashed peas. In mouth, a caramelly chocolate with very nutty notes, oily mouthfeel, medium bodied. On tap at J. Ryans, August 29, 2010.

22oz bottle. Aroma is a bold, rich one of chocolates, a touch of coffee. Flavor is creamy, rich. Smooth mouthfeel. Appreciate the lower alcohol content. Pretty fantastic!
