Aug 10, 2007 A nice porter, made particularly smooth thanks to the "cask conditioning". More coffee flavour than chocolate, this porter is definitely tasty.

Apr 26, 2004 Updated: May 3, 2004Tap NY. Once again, Browns instead of Troy. No more info from my end, for the Web is down. Brown and slightly cloudy. This had a nice barrel aged smooth character too it, with slight whisky notes. Rather roasty and clean.

Apr 27, 2008 Sample courtesy of the owner, Gary Brown. Pours near black with a soft beige foam atop. Woody and malty nose. Taste is sweet and roasted with maybe some slight vanilla.

Apr 29, 2004 Updated: Dec 18, 2007Licorice-like sweetness, surely a combination of the whiskey barrel and the chosen malt bill, rounds off the molasses and delicate roastiness...Some fruitiness adds complexity within the healthily round body, and a drinkable sweet libation is created...Soft, flavorful and huggable, this Porter remains one of their best beers, imho...

Dec 18, 2007 In short: A nice woody and dry porter
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Dark brown body with a medium tan head
In long: A little smoke on the nose. The whiskey barrels really shows in this one. Not the whiskey part but a lot of woody barrel. Dry wood, dry liquorice, roastiness. The wood and roastiness make for a floury/powdery sensation similar to cacao but without much chocolate taste. Undoubtedly the best beer I’ve had at this pub although it had about as much competition as a 6’6” dude at a 100 meter dash midget race.
