A complex, roasty porter with a bittersweet, chocolate-coffee taste and bold hop presence. Named after the ship that frequently docked in Cleveland and sunk in Lake Superior on November 10, 1975 with many Northeast Ohioans on board.

[1] Review by Cybercat from Atlanta, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/6/2010 5:51:54 PM)
"Pours a dark ruby-tinged sable that is somewhat translucent with a decent pale tan head. Aroma is strong and smoky, mainly of fine roast coffee. Flavor is like a fine mocha, slightly sweet and with a firm molasses undertone. Texture is smooth, tingly and edgy. Definitely worthy."

[2] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (9/17/2009 2:51:40 PM)
"Pours out in a dark brown, almost black colour with a small tan-coloured foam. Rich, complex and rounded aroma of dark coffee, cookies, milky chocolate, leather and nuts. Medium-bodied with touches of black coffee, burnt caramel, crackers, mild smoke and cocoa. Long roasty finish of dark chocolate, coffee, burnt caramel, cookies and leather. Good stuff!"

[5] Review by jerrymorrison from lockhart, TX, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/10/2009 4:48:18 PM)
"Aromas of coffee, hints of smoke and fruit. Usual black body, thin light tan head, with some lace. Flavor was really nice robust coffee at first then smoke, chocolate come into play with a fruity aftertaste, and a slightly bitter finish. Overall a fine porter indeed, worthy of a top five ranking,big thanks to bluesandbarbq!"
