Wonderfully delightful, what a good porter should taste like. Dark and thick with a good maltiness, and a touch of hops. Very full rich body.

I'm givin' these guys lot's of love for stickin' their rednecks out there to brew this. I liked it. Don't let the TN fool you, this is an ass kickin' beer. Nice coffee taste and nutty mouthfeel. Best TN beer I've had.

Nice dark brown pour with a decent gray head. Aroma is chocolate and powdered cocoa. A sweet brownie flavor with a floral counterpoint. Great mouthfeel, not thin as too many porters lean to IMO. A nice mocha like finish without the coffee or roast element. A damn fine porter. Ap-4 ar-7 tas-8 pal-5 ov-18

Re-rate. On cask, Nashville Blackstone Restaurant. Poured dark brown, medium tan head., ruby highlights. Roasty, spicy nose, hint of floral hops. Flavor is roasty malt, with a nice hop balance leading to a mildly bitter finish. Wonderfully soft mouth feel, typical of cask-conditioned ales. In contrast, the tap version of this porter felt a bit thin.

Almost black with a slight head. Smooth and not over hopped as some west coast versions. More coffee than choc. with a nice finish.
