Nose of roasted malt and coffee. Pours dark brown with decent tan head. Notes of coffee, roasted malt, some spice, and a hint of vanilla. a little thin on the palate, finishing with a nutty aftertaste. Not too bad.

Pours a deep ruby- almost pitch black with a fantastic two-finger, creamy, tan head that lasts throughout. Awesome lacing. Aromas of roasted malt, milk chocolate, raisins. Taste is medium bodied with some spicy hops and cocoa . Finish adds a nice touch of bittering hops. Creamy mouthfeel. Aftertaste is muted hops with some milk chocolate. Overall excellent.

Pours a nice dark brown with a thick, fading head. Not much aroma, but what there is has malt, fruit, some honey. Light, but a full feel. Roasty, some coffee notes. Very easy-drinking porter. A pleasure to sip through. Not all that complex, but a good solid beer.

Pours dark, dark brown with a small tan head. The aroma is of dark chocolate and a light tinge of licorice. Bittersweet chocolate along with coffee and a nice nutty flavor. A lot going on, nice complexity. Finishes nice and clean with a subtle aftertaste. Not heavy or cloying.
