A slight dark brown almost black pour with a gooey clinging lacing. An aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. A decent hops aroma for a porter. Asweet burnt coffee flavor dominates wth a very good bitter finish. A fizzy finish and a tad thin for a porter. Overall o good beer just barely off.

Tasted on tap at Nashville brewpub in standard pint glass. Opaque dark brown color with creamy beige head. Some retention and lace. Bready, nutty, hints of dark coffee and chocolate. Conservative hops bitterness, very little in aroma. Fruity ale yeast esters. Medium carbonation, crisp dry finish. Satisfying, true-to-style porter, but otherwise unmemorable.

Sampled at Franklin location. Dark brown, beige head. Aroma of burnt malt. taste is milky sweet with roast, pretty good. Medium body and carbonation.

Sampled at Bosco’s Squared in Memphis. Dark brown with a bit of red. Big roasted notes and a well hopped porter. This brewery seems to like well hopped beers. Decent chocolate and coffee. Those hops make this a different take on a classic style. Nice.

Opaque dark red with a creamy tan head. Roasted grain and mild caramel aroma and taste with a chocolate finish.

Amber-brown with a thin light tan head. Aroma of hops, malt and chocolate. Flavor of roasted nuts, coffee, chocolate and hops. Slightly bitter finish. B

Dark brown-orange with a lasting off white foam. Aroma is chocolate, nutty, caramel, roast. Taste is astringent roast, chocolate, caramel, light malt bitter finish.

Draft sample at Boscos Memphis. Poured a clear brown color with an average creamy off-white head that was mostly lasting and produced good lacing. Moderate roasted coffee malt and chocolate aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium roasted coffee sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Sold drinkable brew.

On tap at the brewery in Franklin. Opaque dark brown/chestnut color. Aromas of complex roasted malts and chocolate. Taste is of espresso, chocolate, and restrained roasted malts. Very drinkable and an excellent representation of the style.

Dark brown appearance. Malty, with a chocolatey palate and a hint of coffee? Good, while not being overly complex or pretentious.

On draft at Cool Springs location. Clear dark brown pour with good mocha head and mahogany highlights. Sweet vanilla aroma. Roasty chocolate flavor with a creamy body. Probably the best Bosco’s beer I’ve had so far.
