"Brewed for us. Enjoyed by everyone."
The company was founded in 1997, and the beer has a bottled on date of 8/23/11. This beer is "cozy like velvet," "a lover, not a fighter," and "dark, rich, and sexy" - who can resist a beer that boasts such allure?! It has 45 IBUs and is 6.5% ABV.
Overall average rating: 8.5/10
This beer is black with a thick pour and is completely opaque. The head is a caramelly light brown and is quick to diminish. The aroma is roasted malt, smoke, coffee, and deep, dark cocoa bean. The smooth taste is delicious - chocolate and "smoked coffee bean" (-Chris). There is a mainly front tongue with a little back tongue bite. It ends well with a hop finish that is not predominant but more of a hop undertone. This has great drinkability.
Shawn- This beer is nice and clean with coffee and chocolate flavors. This is so smooth it seems thin even though it's rich and thick. The flavors are well-balanced; the coffee is refreshing and gives this beer amazing drinkability - I could wake up and drink this, 8.5/10.
Angela- One word: yum. This is absolutely dark, rich, and sexy. It is thick and rich - a great cold weather beer. I will absolutely drink this again, 8.5/10.
Chris- This is what I expect from a porter; it has a very good thickness. Personally, I would like a little less coffee flavor because it becomes too predominant for me, 8.5/10.
