During the time leading up to the redesign, it was a lot sweeter and thinner on the mouthfeel, which is probably why the online beer rating sites like RateBeer and BeerAdvocate didn't give it such a sterling ranking. Personally, I liked it just fine, since it was just plain delicious; much more than your average porter.
