Aug 27, 2009 Uncle Billy’s Brew & Que in Austin. The beer pours a dark brownish-black color with a medium light brown head that dissipates steadily. Patchy lacing on the glass. Light roasted malt aroma with a touch of coffee. Medium, soft body with flavors of malt, milk chocolate and mild coffee. Very little if any nutty character actually. The finish is malty with a light coffee bitterness left behind. Overall a decent Porter, but kind of a head-scratcher as to calling it a Pecan Porter. I know those nuts are expensive but this could have used more.

Aug 5, 2009 JW77 with a growler at cigar city. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is light chcocolate, roasted malt, weak coffee, and some earthy nutiness. Flavor is roasty and light chocolate. I wish I could taste more pecans. But it was still pretty good.

Aug 4, 2009 Thanks to whoever left a full growler at CCB after Big Sound release.
Pours black with beige head, light golden lacing.
Aroma of roasted malts, light pecan nose.
Taste, nutty / pecan with chocolate malts, light abv an palate with some coffee notes in the finish and some faint bitterness.
Very tasty and gets better after a few pints and after it sits outside for a few.

Aug 4, 2009 Had on tap with Cavie while visiting Texas. Decent brew, but it needs more pronounced pecan flavor to really tout that name around.

Aug 2, 2009 A solid porter. I think the Pecans might be a gimmick because I couldn’t taste them, or even a hint of nuttiness. I also drank it outside when it was 100F, so I may not have enjoyed it as much as if I was sitting in a dark pub when its 50F outside.

Jul 17, 2009 On draft at Uncle Billy’s. Real impressed with this porter...very nice malt, coffee and chocolate aromas and flavors...with a touch of sweetness on the end, but not too much.

Jul 10, 2009 I am very partial to Porters. And this Porter lands near the Meantime Porter as far as my favorites. In my top 2, most certainly. This Porter is good in a much different way. It has a great chocolate/coffee aroma to it, and has a more malty taste to it. The first batch of it I tried wasn’t nearly as dry as the last batch I tasted, but in both cases, the beer didn’t disappoint. When you read Pecan, don’t expect sweet. It is still very much a Porter, but with a little bit of added malt to it. Which some will like, and other won’t.

May 29, 2009 Served in shaker at Rover’s on 5.28.09- non transparent black in color, nice creamy lightly darkened tan head. Aroma of a roasted malt, coffee, brown sugar, and a note of pecans. Hits the mouth with a nice wide body, malt is there from the first sip- which is extermely pleasant, dark chocolate notes intertwined with sweetness and pecans everywhere, finish is sticky and hangs around like bad company- which is good. Yet another solid brew from this new brewery which hasn’t had a slow start.
