Caramelly, smokey aromas, chocolate malts, vanilla. Pours a cloudy brown, with a thin tan head. Very thin, caramel malts, citrusy, fruity, light on the palate. Very thin and lacking body for a porter, i’d say its a rich brown ale?

Bottle. Some bakers chocolate in the aroma, which is mild, along with a dark fruity scent. Dark brown color, thin head, spotty lacing. The flavor consists of chocolate, smokey ash, residual sugar, weak coffee. A little thin in the body. Pretty good.

Draft at Cafe Tu Tu Tango. Poured clear dark brown color with an average fizzy brown head that mostly diminished with minimal lacing. Moderate nuts and chocolate malt aroma. Medium body with a sticky smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium dark chocolate fruity flavor with medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid complex beer.

Roasted nuts, chocolate, and some coffee aroma. Brown to dark brown pour, some foam, not a lot. Roast, nuts, coffee and light chocolate undertones. Rather straightforward. Dry finish. Body is a bit on the thin side. Almost one dimensional, but very drinkable.

aroma of soft chocolate genache melting amogst light sugar. body is opaque with disappearing filth head. flavor is of chocolate and light char at times. hops are present but subdued, pushing their balance from the shadows, providing base bitterness.

Draft… Hazy, dark, burnt orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Chocolaty, nutty aroma. Medium to full-bodied and mildly creamy with moderate carbonation. Although perfectly balanced, the flavor is thin and boring; nutty and minerally. Roasted, lightly bitter finish.

Draft at the brewery. This one pours a cloudy chestnut brown color with translucency showing throughout. A quickly fading beige head leaves broken rings of lacing on the glass. The nose gives notes of rich, roasted cocoa and caramel malts, toffee, and toasted biscuit. Hints of coffee and earthy hops add some balancing bitterness. Flavors are similar, the chocolate and caramel tasting a little fudgy and sugar laden, with mild coffee roast and a surprisingly grassy hop finish. Medium bodied and mostly smooth, there is just a shade too much carbonation for my liking. Overall, a tasty brew, and definitely the best of their fledgling lineup.

On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. Dark reddish pour, fluffy bubbly sandy head, thick lacing. Some coffee in the nose, mostly fruits. Apple, some mango and pretty prevalent citrus. Fruity flavors, some coffee, very slight roast in the finish, sweet malts and caramel. Drinkable, sweet and good, just not really a porter.
