Jun 28, 2008 Tap. Pours a pitch black with minimal tan head. Nose is roasty malts, chocolate and coffee. Taste is sweet cocoa, salty toasted nuts, roasted coffee and a mild hop finish. A little too much on the sweet side for me. Medium, semi-creamy mouth feel.

Dec 9, 2007 On draught at the Brewer’s Den (Sonora Brewhouse) in Phoenix, AZ as their Vanilla Porter. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates to a thin tan ring and some film top. Aroma of dark toasted black malt, dark chocolate, vanilla and some soy sauce. Taste is full bodied, light carbonated with flavors of dark roasted malt, chocolate, a touch of coffee and even some black licorice. Finish is smooth, creamy, semi-dry with a dark toasted malt aftertaste.

Aug 14, 2007 Updated: May 24, 2008pot belly porter @ the pub...nice near black pour with a fluffy khaki head. heavy soy aroma with smokey bacon and dark roasted malts. medium bodied. flavor has mild coffee notes, burnt dark dried fruit and slightly sweet roastiness. has a saltiness that keeps everything in check...
cask with crystal hops... smells very wet almost like grass clippings. that smell carries over to the flavor and combines with the usual porter. i feel it distracts from a really good porter. it’s not bad. it was just unnecessary. 7/4/7/3/15=3.6
