The liquid is a very dark brown color with a lofty tan colored head with rocky bubble formations.

Smells of dark chocolate, molasses with a hint of coffee and some herbal hop aroma. The taste is full of roasted malt and bitter coffee grinds, brown sugar and the finish has a nice pine hop flavor. It has a medium body with sparkling carbonation and a slightly dry finish.

Solid porter in my opinion, it has a nice range of flavor and I wouldn't mind knocking back a few more.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Appearance: Deep mahogany brown, crowned with a massive, dense tan head, which excellent retention. Belgian-style lace adorns the glass walls.

Aroma: Roasted malt and smoky notes dominate the aroma. There is a very modest herbal hop aroma.

Taste: Opens with a fairly intense wave of roasted malt, and bitter cocoa. These flavors carry throughout the taste. Late in the taste, there is a slightly acidic cold coffee flavor, and a substantial charcoal presence. Finishes with a lingering burnt note.

Mouth feel: Smooth, soft, very pleasant, with a little stinging carbonatoin.

Drinkability/notes: A very nice, drinkable example.

Presentation: Packaged in a short, twelve-ounce brown glass long-neck bottle with a pry -off crown, served in a New Belgium Brewing chalice.

look: 4 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5

Appearance- This brew is dark and beautiful, yielding dark amber hues when help up to the light but mostly black. Thick smooth head forms when poured.

Smell- Biscuity and malty in nature, the smell hints at the chocolaty delight to come. Aroma also hints at nuttiness.

Taste- Amazingly complex flavor here, mostly chocolate maltiness but some swigs reveal fruityness. Just the right amount of bitterness for this type of brew. Extremely well balanced with rich body. It glides across the tongue.

Overall this is an amazing brew that can be drank anytime of day. It was a perfect breakfast choice and now as I drink it late at night it shows its appeal there too. I would highly recommend this brew as an example of the quality beer that Boulevard puts out. Thanks Boulevard!

Pours dark brown with a tan foam head. No retention, spotty lace.

Coffee, dark roasted malt, some cocoa, and even a little maple in the nose. As the brew settles, chocolate becomes very pronounced.

Malt first, with coffee and some dark sweet notes. Clears to a moderate bitterness, with long lingering bitterness and a pucker at the finish. In the middle of all of that is some brown bread and a little touch of tartness.

Medium bodied, astringent -- which is a a bit odd for this style. Mouth dries out, and makes you want a glass of water, not more beer.

Overall, good brew. Tasty and enough complexities to enjoy more than one.

Poured a 12oz bottle into a Sam Adams glass. Pours a very deep clear brown that you can see through when held up to light. Has a big cappuccino colored head that lingers on and also leaves lacing. Aroma is mostly alcohol sweetness. The taste has more complexity, with some nice roasted malt flavor, a little coffee and a hint of bitterness on the finish. Has a little bit of carbonation but is mostly smooth and has a nice mouthfeel. An above average porter. Not mind-blowing, but solid.
