3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
pours a deep brown, little to no head. aroma is of lightly roasted malts, caramel, coffee, chocolate and a bit earthy. the liquid is thin.. dry on the palate. distinct taste of the malts, chocolate and coffee. nice mix of flavors although nothing dominates, good balance here. dry, slightly bitter finish.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a lighter brown than expected with an touch of tan head. Nose and taste is a bit more mellow than most porters. A touch of chocolate sweetness and generally very approachable and drinkable. More pleasing to the masses than to someone who really likes a great porter I suspect. As one of the masses in this case I found the beer to be very solid.
