Not a good porter. Watery, overcarbonated, dry finish bordering on astringent, too much hops for the style. One of those very rare beers that I opened but did not finish. Try a Fuller's London Porter instead, for an example of what a Porter should be.

Small tan head atop a clear chestnut body. Aroma is moderately sweet, dark chocolate, caramel, light orange and cherry. Taste is underwhelming, especially after the inviting aroma -- mildly sweet, watery roasty chocolate, finishing roasty with trace of cherry and earthy bitterness. Medium body.

A deep brown color with a tan head. A mild aroma of nail polish remover. The flavor is roasty and a bit nutty. A little thin in my opinion.

Brown with a creamy beige head that sticks to the glass. Smells like nail polish remover. Has a tangy nut flavor.

Thanks to Gregory for this bottle. Good porter. Drinkable. Didn't really have anything that stood out. Was missing the roasty flavor.

Small head, but good in carbination. A full bodied taste tha thits the spot. Over all a good tasting beer.

Not very porter like other than the color IMO. I got hints of roasted malt, but it wasnt as prominent as I would expect from a porter. Still not a bad beer though...this place is all about the hoppy finishes.

I like the subtleness of this porter. The flavors are interesting. Toasted malt, some hints of smoke, and cookie dough like flavors. This isn't a beer to gulp, but a beer, to drink slowly and really think about the flavors.
