Probably better than O'Neil's other four beers, but what's that saying? Unremarkable taste of faint chocolate malt and generic dark malt sweetness.

Pours a black color. 1/3 inch head of an off-tan color. Good retention and slight lacing. Smells of slight roasted malt, acrid odor, hint of sweet malt, and slight metallic. Fits the style of an American Porter. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of sweet malt, slight roasted malt, slight hop, slight pale malt, and slight wheat. Overall, decent appearance, body, and blend. The aroma though, is quite off-putting.

Looks like a stout, dark with amber hue at bottom of glass. Generous light tan head which stays, and leaves some lacing later. Not much smell, perhaps because it's served so cold. Taste is of coffee and chocolate milk. Lots of residual sweetness in the beer. Notes of grapes or apricots in the taste. The finish is sweet. Mouthfeel is quite full for a brown ale, but lighter than a stout. Somewhat drinkable.

Nice beer, not too tasty or full bodied as Id be expecting in this sort of beer.
Completely opaque black with a creamy caramel head and little or no carbonation but some lacing.
The smell, weak and weaker as for being in a crowded bar. still; hoppy, a bit sweet.
The taste really isnt properly enhanced as the beer lacks body. still its nice and bitter with some maltyness to it but it feels too oily as for what this kind of beer should be. This diminishes its actual quality, but not the drinkability for the weaker souls.
