Bottle from brewery. Pours deep dark brown with a 1-inch head. Mild roasty and yeasty aroma. Great smooth roasty and chocolatey taste, with a perfect balance between sweet and bitter. Other than the not-too-outstanding aroma, this is a perfect example of what a Porter should be.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours dark brown with creamy head. Smell is creamy, bready, and a little sweet. The taste is similar, sweet and light for such a dark beer. There is a creamy malted milk touch and a light chocolaty bit. Seems like it would go well with ice cream. Starts full and thick but gives way to a seemingly simple porter.

A pours darker caramel brown with some off white head. Bubbles cling to the sides. A - poured cold has a strong aroma of dog food/ salted meat. Tones down as it warms. Coffee, roasted malts, chocolate and smoke aromas come through. Hints of saltiness. M - lighter bodied, airy feel, a little bland. Lingering smokey malts. T - roasted malts throughout. Quiet hints of chocolate, coffee. lingering smoky tasted. Grainy dog food notes as well. O - bland smoky porter. Lacks strength. Eh. 6

Good porters are good. Nothing fantastic but it is a very well made roasty, creamy porter and everything you could want in the style. Well done.
