Anderson Valley Deep Enders Dark Porter

Pours mahogany-tinged black into an English pint. Tan micro head with excellent retention slowly recedes to coat surface. Dusty fig and cocoa aromas. Smooth caramel upfront, turning a little thin with roasted chocolate in the lasting finish.

$2.99 bomber @ Bottle Barn, no date. Clear deep brown with a 1 1/2 finger beige head, good retention. Mainly chocolate and caramel in the aroma with a little roasted and toasted grain. Flavor was much the same with some light pine hops added. Dark chocolate roasty malt finish, bitterness @ a 3. Light to moderate carbonation with a smooth medium body. Pretty good porter.

Bottle from an unknown location. Poured a dark brown with a small head. Light nutiness with coffee and chocolate flavors. Nice roasty malt flavor made this one smooth on the palate.

(22oz bottle) Pours a brown body with a small off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, light roastiness, and some coffee. Flavor of cocoa, roasted malt, biscuit, caramel, and light coffee.

My bottle (22oz) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, GregClow, tupalev & jerc. Pours a very deep ruby-brown with an average size diminishing creamy tan head. Aroma of slightly roasted sweet malt, chocolate and light grassy hops. Flavour of roasted malt, bitter chocolate and hints of coffee and hops. Light bitter finish. Average bodied. Pretty good.
