Great Porter, has the dark and warm feel of a nice Guinness with a lot more flavor, the carmel flavor is a great touch ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft into mug. Dense bordering on opaque brown. Roast notes in the nose cut by a hint of maple syrup. A bit on the body did for my preference in a porter, and not add malty as I hoped. Still a bit of today pops through.typical shorter finish with lingering notes of light roast coffee. Respectable as goes porters if not remarkable, but we also don’t have s lot of local porters so yea for that!

Draft. Clear dark red-brown body, small beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, some roast, light milk chocolate. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, some milk chocolate, light roast, earthy. Light-medium body, low carbonation.

On tap at brewery, great roastynplain everyday porter, tastes great dig it.

64 oz growler into a pint glass. Had no idea this took gold at GIBF, congrats Back East! A - Pours a dark brown/black body. Lets a bit of light shine through. Nice and foamy two fingers worth of a tan head forms and settles into a thin cap with plenty of large bubbles. Lacing and retention is moderate. S - Milk chocolate, lightly roasted malt, coffee, and some vanilla. A touch of floral hops. Very inviting and pleasant. Great balance between sweet and roast with neither really outshining the other. T - Milk chocolate, sweet vanilla, bitter coffee beans and some metallic notes. Very solid porter. Mouth feel is medium bodied with average carbonation making for a highly drinkable beer. O - Just a well rounded porter here. Very tasty and highly drinkable without coming off as too sweet or too roasty as some porters tend to. Back East is doing some great things.
