Bottle. Pours dark brown with a 2 finger light tan head that results in spotty lacing. The nose is milk chocolate and roasty malt. The taste is ashy cocoa, light coffee and toasted caramel malt. Medium bodied. Decent porter.

The lacing hung on the side of my glass as if letting go meant dropping into the abyss... the rich liquid rolled around on my tongue... chocolate? Tobacco? maybe coffee. Yummy malty goodness. I’m a porter newbie, but I like this one.

Pretty solid example of the style but not awe inspiring. Dark mahogany pour with a khaki head that left webbing. Aroma is cocoa, burnt caramel, and ash. Flavor is chocolate forward with a light coffee finish. Medium/creamy mouthfeel. Not bad.

Pours dark brown with a light-brown foamy head which leaves nice lacing. The nose is roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. The palate starts with lively carbonation, moves smoothly across the tongue and finishes with a lasting and light roasted coffee bitterness. This is one of my favorite Porters. It never fails to make me smile. Well-balanced, pleasing to the eyes, nose, and tongue.

Bottle at home ... deep brown ... bubbly tan head ... odd musty toffee nose ... dull chocolate toffee malt ... little wood ... some dark fruit ... not up to much at all

Pours black with a nice sized tan head that sticks around for awhile. Smell like roasted coffee/malts. Nice full body that starts off sweet and creamy, then finishes it off with a little bit of bitterness. Marvelous porter.

Deep black with light tan head. Roasted malt aroma and continued in the flavor. Coffee and roasted malt dominate. Nice malty finish. Nice porter.
