Sample from Augusta beerfest. Going off notes. Poured an opaque black with a tiny cream head. Aroma was mild burnt notes, chocolate and coffee. Flavor was milk chocolate, roasted malts and toast. Thin and kind of watery. Could have been a lot better.

Draft at the brewpub, served in a frosted glass (!). Every time I come here I forget to ask for a non-frosted one. So frustrating. Also no ABV or description anywhere, just "Porter" on a tiny chalkboard. Pours a deep, dark, nearly opaque brown with almost no head whatsoever. Because of the frosted glass, I couldn’t smell anything until this was almost finished. When I did, I got some basic roasted malts, brown sugar, and chocolate. Flavor follows suit, in slowly opening up to the same basic notes of chocolate, roasted malts, nuts, and toast. Light-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a mouthfeel like just-unfrozen coffee. Maybe this would seem better if they’d stop frosting glasses. Please.
