Bottle. Deep dark brown color, with off-white head. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, and roasted malts. Flavor is smooth and has a really nice creamy flavor to it. Malt balance is great.

Bottle. Off-white head, creamy, average head (mostly lasting). Very impressive lacing. Black body. Aromas of chocolate, caramel, toasted malts, and some smoke. Flavor is initially lioght bitter and finishes moderately bitter. Watery texture, Lively carbonation. Long duratin of flavor. Light to medium bodied. This porter was good but a bit weaker than I would have liked.

Pours brown with a frothy mocha head. Smells of roasted coffee and tastes much the same but with a smoother sweetness. It is nice and creamy as well.

Very nice example of the porter style. Poured with a great dark tan head that lasted. Roasty, with hints of chocolate and coffee. Nicely balanced, easily drinkable. Good, but nothing to really seperate it from a lot of others. Could be a little thicker, but overall, a solid porter.

Dark brown appearance with large light tan head. Aroma is chocolate and hazelnut with a hint of coffee. Flavor is rich coffee with a thin palate. Needs a little body to be a great porter.
