COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A superb porter, hearty & dark. This one is a staff favorite, made with pale, crystal, Munich, chocolate, and black malts. The darker malts give Coal its color and rich flavor. We use Target and Willamette hops to yield a very subtle hop flavor in this porter. We cellar this beer for close to six months before releasing it on the thirsty throngs of fans.

12oz bottle. Medium brown pour, no carbonation. aroma is off-putting... Skunky yeast, some roasted malt. Thin, watery subtle smokiness, roasted malt, some bitterness. I think this is old. The unfilled expiration date gives no hint, but it only goes up to 2010... Not a good sign. Could be decent if it were fresh.

a very good, extremely easy to drink porter. Sometimes porters can be a little tough on the palate, either overly carbonated, a little too roasty like black coffee, and no hop balance, but this is the exact opposite. so smooth, not thick but not thin, nice roasty malt flavor with just a hint of hoppiness at the end. really good.

Pours deep brown with an off white head. Aroma its dark chocolate, roasty and a hint of charcoal smoke. Taste is sweet with smokey muted bitters. Light and thin mouthfeel.

Scrapersnbeer (217) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - OCT 22, 2011
Chocolate and coffee scents are present but not profound. Taste is malt balanced with a little bitterness from hops. Consistency is too thin and soft. Bottled, probably much better on tap.

BroSpud (1124) - , Massachusetts, USA - OCT 1, 2011
12oz bottle. Pours deep dark brown with a slight tan head. Did not detect any coal but there were hints of coffee and dark chocolate. A bit on the thin side but overall not bad.

HeistAlmighty (475) - Saint John, New Brunswick, CANADA - SEP 20, 2011
Sample at the brewery. Roasted coffee aroma, deep brown colour, lighter body than light be expected. A sessionable porter? A fine brew and a serviceable porter, but nothing too exciting.

kubilai (111) - , Quebec, CANADA - AUG 25, 2011
Brown colored body with a bubbly and light brown/grey head. Aroma is a combination of cocoa, coffee, smoke and a hint of chicory. Chocolate is predominant in taste but foral hops and smoke accents drive through your mouth. The oily texture is a joy for your tongue. Great beer.

bfeldmann (1048) - Wilmington, Delaware, USA - AUG 15, 2011
First good porter in awhile on draft at the brewery. Poured a dark brown. The aroma was nutty and mild chocolate. Flavor was chocolate and molasses little nuttiness . Mouthfeel was very well balanced.
