A great brew that sadly you can’t get down here,thanks to my wife for picking me up a six pack from indiana. Pours a deep mahogany, almost black, with a bubbly brown head. Nose is somewhat dull with hints of caramel and burnt toast. Flavor is full and complex, with a very clean finish, onderful for the style. If this brew had just a touch more roasted flavor, it would be the best porter ever, it is still among the best. This is a great overall brew.

A fresh porter with minimal head and balanced carbonization. A good nutty character with little to no bitterness. After taste focus on roosted nut flavor, with just a hint of raisin.

Bottle. Dark brown almost black pour with creamy lasting tan head. Chocolate and sweet malt on the nose. Coffee/chocolate bitterness on the front, as the tasty concoction slides to the back of the throat some sweetness becomes apparent. Medium mouthfeel with a nice bit of carbonation to perk things up. Smooth chocolate finish.

Brown- black with a small lasting head. Aroma is spicy chocolate molasses with a sour-metallic tinge. Flavor is initially bittersweet chocolate with sour cream, turning to chicory coffee with smoky marshmallows. Palate is medium-bodied and smooth with a nice acidic tingle.

dark black with a creamy head. decent lacing. aroma of coffee and roasted malts. very smooth tasting with the flavors being very present but subtle. coffee, chocolate and rasted malt. overall enjoyable. good example of the style and perfect for someone new to porters as its flavorful yet very light and smooth.

12 oz bottle from trade with ketchepillar. Deep brown pour with a thin head that disappears quickly. Great roasted aroma with some coffee notes. Rich chocolate, caramel, roasted barley, and some toffee. Great mouthfeel. Rich but not overpowering. There was a bit of bitterness at the swallow, but I would guess that is from the roast and not hops. Really enjoyed it.
