3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours balck with a nice head. Aroma of deep coffee. Mouthfeel of chocolate but dominated by, you guessed it, coffee. Nice and roasted. Starbucks should sell this stuff.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Black brown color with a nice medium to large sized brown creamy head. Pretty good lacing. Nose is chocolate roasted malt, coffee, and some cardboard, and maybe even a strange garbage smell. I wonder how clean all the tap lines were at this brewery.......Taste is of chocolate, stale coffee, and brown sugar. Pretty smooth. Just ok in my book.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewery, probably there best offering. Pours with a thick, light brown head covering a black body. Nice lacing. Strong, forward, sweet coffee ground taste. Brown sugar and coffee aroma. Goes down smoothly.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very black; head was slight and thin; great coffee notes in the nose. Great mouthfeel- good depth. Very pleasently surprised. Yummy.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cola-fizz in the glass, caramel head, 98% opaque with only the faintest tint of red against a bright light. Dry coffee aroma, with a hint of candy-like flavor. Chocolately notes in the flavor, making it a bit like a Kahlua candy. Except, this is aggressively dry. Unfortunately, what stood out for me was an aroma and flavor like Prego-brand Extra Chunky Garden Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce. The body reminded me that this was a porter, not a stout. Decent beer, if I hadn't been so frequently reminded of spaghetti sauce.... (on tap, Grapevine, TX location)
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sampled draught at Big Buck, Grapevine, Texas.
Very black. Big coffee aroma. medium bodiued and really roasty. Dry, but not very firm. Bitter salty finish.
