This might be the best porter I have ever had. It poured out thick and dark with a strong chocolate smell. The taste was full of chocolate as well. Overall it was outstanding.

The beer is a dark brown with a thick tan head. This beer smells like chocolate and then more chocolate. It tastes like chocolate wait... am I just drinking chocolate? Actually there is some roasted and oak flavors that do come in at the end. The beer The beer is creamy and smooth.

I've had this often over the years, and I'm surprised I never reviewed it. On tap at the Ashland taproom.

The beer is very dark, with a very small head and light lacing. The smell is surprisingly mild for a big beer like this. The taste is a bit like a fudgesicle. It's very chocolatey. There's some oak, and just a little tang. It's sweet, but not as sweet as some "dessert" beers. The body is light.

Overall, it's a very good beer. If you are looking for a chocolate ale, give this a try.

22oz capped & Waxed bottle into a tulip. No freshness dating that I could find. Waxing is bloody annoying to get off.

Looks damn fine in the glass. Jet black body with a nice tan head leaving good lacing. nice streams of small carbonation.

Nothing much comes through on the nose except a very faint musty aroma, which, oddly, is not an unpleasant one.

Tasty brew. Chocolate, a decent but not too heavy roast on the malt. Smoky and even a little pepper. Sweet, but not cloying. nicely balanced. Only knock on the taste is that as it warms, it seems to lose some flavor.

Mouth is between medium and full, finish slightly sweet & peppery.

Overall, a nice beer. I'll even forgive them for the wax, lol.
