3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: FEB 23, 2011 Bomber, shared with Parksy. Clear dark brown pour, moderate tan head. Mild roast, surprisingly smoky undertones, a light fruitiness in the finish. A tad on the thin side. A little unusual but it works for me.

Aroma of light coffee and a hint of toasted malt. Dark brown with hints of red. Flavor is toasted as well light hints of coffee and a light bitter. A bit thin and foamy for me. Not a bad porter at all but not real special. I would drink it again.

Bottle at the April Get Together. Pours brilliant dark ruby with big beige head. The aroma is rich caramel and molasses with some toffee and chocolate. The flavor is coffee, some burned notes. A bit of caramel sweetness is in there, as well as some grainy sourness, which leaves a somewhat tangy aftertaste.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at the April Get Together.
Clear dark brown pour with a tan head.
Chocolate and roast malt aroma and flavor.
I’d have to have a bit more chewiness to rate this higher. Thin.

This poured a black apperance with a beige head. The flavor contains malted milk balls, chocolate, and coffee. The flavor contained the same. The malted milk ball flavor was rather interesting. The palate was a bit thin for a porter but still a nice beer.

Its a porter, and as such, has all the expected porter-y characterisitcs. Lots of coffee and burnt toast. It did seem a bit on the astringent side, but otherwise it was reasonably well made and quaffable. Thanks to stevo for this one!

22oz bottle acquired in trade with kyzr (thanks!). Poured a deep brown color with an averaged sized off whtie head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, and I’m getting a woody earthiness as well. Tastes of roast, smoke, chocolate, and has a light coffee bitter finish. Thnner body.

Just watched Legends of the Fall for the first time. A little late, but nonetheless, I decided what better way to celebrate watching a great movie, than to drink a beer from that state. That being said...
Bottle from kyzr. Pours dark brown with a decent cream colored head and nice lacing. Aroma of light roast, chocolate, and butter. Perhaps a little smoke. Pretty smokey with nice roast. The smoke is pretty dominant but not over the top. I didnt get the buttery flavor that I expected from the aroma. Medium bodied with a lingering smokey effect. Medium carbonation. A nice porter.
