Pours a ruby brown. Nose is slightly mote earthy that regular maduro. Flavor is dirt, earth, minute amounts of mushroom, strange tartness (good strange though), meaty. Cool beer.

Pours dark brown with deep caramel and earth notes. Mouthfeel shows the earth from the mushroom and a more nuanced hint of caramel and coffee hints from the brown ale.

Pilot Porcini Brown–on tap-pours a big tight tan head and copper color. Aroma is medium malt, earthy, citrus. Taste is medium malt-roasty/toffee, earthy, secondary citrus hops.

Sample at the tap room. Part of their experimental series. The beer is a dark brown color with an amber tint. Thin beige head that diminishes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of earthy malt and mild hops. Medium body with a savory character and flavors of earth and peaty malt, plus a bit of fruit. The finish is earthy with a bit of malt lingering. I was admittedly leery about a mushroom beer but this is pretty good.
