Sammy (6113) - Toronto, - JUL 15, 2007
On tap at the brewpub. A good example of the inconsistency of the lineup, this porter is rather bland and the carbonation and taste is off. Certainly not a batch that should have been served. Dark, a bit of aroma, some hops that gave it some citrus. It could have used: less carboantion, more malting, particular chocolate malt.

otakuden (1558) - Vero Beach, USA - OCT 8, 2011
Appearance: clean and clear with blacks bordered by garnet and cherry woods. Tan collar but no real head to speak of.
Nose: roasted and toasty all around. Dark Ghirardelli cocoa powder. Roasted marshmallows with a nice char, just the way I like them. Vanilla bean. Rich black earth.
Palate: wet woods old and deep, ash, and scorched earth. Bark and twigs in the middle, burnt of course. Unsweetened pure black cacao Ghirardelli chocolate tingles and grabs sides of cheeks. Acrid burnt black root. Raisins and prunes for a touch of meaty goodness.
Final Thoughts: a solid quaffer of a porter perfect for slaking a hard working man or woman’s thirst. The last of my Amherst flight of four, I declined on any growlers to go but did get my lucky hands on a t-shirt.

Hopistotle420 (1178) - Amherst, Massachusetts, USA - APR 15, 2004
Deep dark black. Tan head. Roasted malt, raison, port, coffe'ish nose. Dark espresso, burnt flavor, bitter chocolate, raison, dark fruit, slightly viscous, with a great body and mouthfeel. A very nice brew from the ABC...
