Pours brown mahogany with off white head. The smell is light with some roasted grain. A lush medium chocolate malt covers most all the flavors with a moderate roast and semi sweet semi dry grainy palate.

Tap - small khaki colored foamy head, dark brown color, roasted malt aroma and flavor with mild coffee flavors, and a fair amount of chocolate flavor, especially as the beer warms up

On tap at the brewpub. Comes dark brown with a tiny biege head. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Taste is roast, chocolate, dark fruit, and molasses. Decent enough.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Creamy tan head on a deep brown body. Somewhat subdued aroma of roasted beans and dark chocolate. The body more than makes up for the soft aroma with heavy notes of smoke, tobacco, nut and chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel with a great nutty/sweet finish. Solid porter all around

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a black body with an off white head. Dull milky malt body, vanilla and some lighter roasted malt. A hint of chocolate malt sweet finishes dry bitter with light minerals. Decent.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a black body with a very tiny, cream colored head that dissipates immediately and leaves minimal lacing. Faint aroma of chocolate and roasted malts. Light fruit notes. Flavor is more robust than the aroma. Staightforward porter, but solid tasting. Lots of rich, sweet chocolate blending nicely with a mild roast taste and a bit of smoke. Some syrupy molasses and a light fruit. Not really picking up a lot of coffee like they describe. Palate is medium bodied and creamy before finishing dry and medium roasty. Overall, nothing exceptional, but very sessionable. It pleased me.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours black with ruby highlights and a thin creamy tan head. Roasted malts and faint coffee on the nose, but to be honest a brewpub isn’t always the ideal environment to smell a beer. When sizzling fajitas go passing by your head, the smell of grilled onions lingers for a while. Medium-bodied and lively with a dry finish. Roasted malt, molasses and a light coffee notes comprise the flavor which concludes dry and roasty. A decent porter, but nothing to get too excited about.

Black with some garnet hues. Served with no head. Roasted aroma, with a tad of chocolate. The flavor is the same. Medium body.
