Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Rated 7/17/07 in comparison w/ Sierra Nevada Stout. Pours dark mahogany with a thin off white head. Minimal lacing noted. Aroma and flavor are a mocha blend. Major differences noted between this and the stout are the lighter color, the thinner body, and the melding of the flavors. In the stout, I tasted the chocolate and coffee flavors indepen
Dark brown, almost black with a nice tan head that descends in that nice uneven way. Smells of all goodness with some fruitiness and coffee. Taste is high quality standard porter taste with all the roasted chocolate, hops, and espresso you would want. Goes down fine, but lets you know its doing it. A fine session for anytime.
12 oz bottle. Pours dark brown color with brown head. Aroma of roasted malty and chocolate. Taste of coffee and chocolate with dry finish.
