It poured a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma was nice roasted malts and some coffee tones. The taste was strong coffee, bittersweetness, roasted malt, and a little smokey. A decent Porter.

Sampled at an esbls tasting. A lot of red in the dark hue. A ring for a head. A very smoky nose with a bit of meat. This could be a rauch. Smoky and meaty flavor. Some ash. This is probably close to being authentic to the roots of the style but that style has been improved upon.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from a Bozeman grocery store. Nice roasty malt and a little more roasty than what I am used to with a straight porter. Chocolate flavors and creamy milk texture. Bittersweet coffee finish. All together this reminds more of a light stout or a full bodied imperial porter. Good character and presence for the style.
