3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20Drank from snifter poured from a 12 oz bottle. Nice smoky flavor, but the palate is too bitter and the citrus notes build on the palate too quickly.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle @ home, courtesy of fucken a brosmer, I believe. Thanks! Pours a dark brown appearance with a creamy, dark brown head. A fair amount of anise, roast, and dark chocolate in the nose along with some coffee notes. Somewhat bitter, dull herbal hoppy, dark bready, coffee flavor. Decent.

Had this in the fridge for a while before I tried. I think this is the first Alabama brewery to make its way over the Georgia line. Pours what I would call a dark brown closer to brown than black with a generous tan head. Smells a bit grassy and citrusy. A bit thin on the mouthfeel. Malt barely exceeds the bitter with a burnt finish. Decent beer. Bottle - Ale Yeah - Decatur, GA

12 oz. Bottle poured into glass. Nice off white head. Some lacing.Smells of flowers, coffee and grizzly straight. Taste is bitter hops and caramel. Great brew from Alabama.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Kudzu Porter pours a very dark reddish mahogany topped by a durable tan head that leaves excellent lacing.
Aroma: more hops than expected lend an unusual citrus nose, but there is too little in the way of roasted malts.
Taste: a bit hoppy, but on par with some other American Porters. Thankfully, there’s plenty of dark roasted malt too. The dark malt brings a light smoke and a bit too much burnt quality.
M: medium+ body; Nicely carbonated.
Overall: an unusual but nice American porter worth trying.

Bottle. Pours cola brown without much head. Just a slight white halo with light lacing. Aroma is chocolate and light coffee with hints of vanilla. Taste is the same. Not too sweet, not too dry. Pretty easy drinking.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Comes out of the bottle a deep, barely translucent coffee brown with a thick and fluffy pale wheat head. Smoky aroma has notes of molasses and semi-sweet chocolate and hints of licorice and horehound. Hearty flavor has roast malt, chocolate and molasses notes plus a not-so-subtle bitter hoppy tone. Firm texture is quite fizzy and lively, leaving a fairly persistent tingle and a slightly chocolaty finish. Roll in the kudzu with this one.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Jacksonville, Fl - Grassroots Natural Market - 12 oz bottle. Oily dark brown pour, thin but persistent off-white head, a bit of lacing. Aroma has a hint of creosote, some nutty notes. Flavor has a strong roasty presence with some bittersweet chocolate notes, a touch of black coffee, some potting soil. Mouthfeel has a bit of chalkiness that I like in porters, but just a tad thin. Not bad.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Pours brown with a finger of tan head. Nose is sweet and roasty, with a significant amount of citrus hops. Taste follows. The citrus hops work nicely with the level of roast even a light bit of smoke. Borderline porter v. black ipa in my book. Refreshing and very good.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
bottle. huge foamy head with a clear brown beer. floral hop and tar, tobacco aroma. chalky, bitter, ashy and a bit of molasses or licorice in the flavor. light and sessionable. good job.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
My favorite of their offerings. Beautiful deep brown pour with some ruby around the edges. Off-white head fades quickly but leaves some great lacing. Flavor is a nice balance of bitter roasted malt, coffee, and some caramel and chocolate. Surprisingly light for all that. This is would make a good session beer. Really nice porter.
