2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
An unspectacular porter. Actually delivers less than it promises. Too smokey and lacking in flavor. It gets a 2.6 but is really a failure. I brew better beer.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draft 4 oz sample at the brewpub, 10/23/06: Pitch black with the barest of smoky coffee aromas. Not much to this one flavor-wise, pretty shallow. Just a kiss of sour-smoke, burnt toast. Least favorite here.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had this on tap at little brothers. Poured very black with a thin head. Aroma was very choclatey and roasty. The flavor was of bitter choclate and some sweet maltiness. Overall pretty good but im not that big of a porter fan.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
3l grolsh style jar. very black with tan head. smooth body with coffee tastes. clean finish
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
I had this at O’Shaughnessy’s Public House under the name O’Shaughnessy’s Dam Good Porter. Pours black with a mocha head that fades pretty quick. Nice aroma of coffee, and sweet milk chocolate. Also lots of roasty notes. A real delight to the nose. Flavor is no disappointment either. This is a nice blend of chocolate sweetness and coffee bitters. Very robust and flavorful. Full mouthfeel with not too much carbonation. Very creamy and delicious.. This is a very nice porter and worthy of the name Dam Good Porter!
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at brewpub. Black color with an average creamy light brown head that diminished slowly and produced good lacing. Moderate sweet toasted malt aroma. Medium body. Medium sweet toasted malt and fruit flavor with an average finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours dark with almost no head. Taste is sweet with hints of coffee. Mild hop flavor. A slightly above average porter.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light, light porter aroma with some fruit. Dark and transparent with virtually no head. A very mellow beer with some earthy/veggie (potato) notes. Indistinct, but balanced and easily drinkable for the porter novice. Lightish body, but smooth.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A very dark porter. Aroma is mild with some coffee, roast and a light hop aroma. Good body and carbonation. Flavor is roasted toffee with a mild bitterness. Some hoppy floral character, but minimal. Great flavors, but did not really stand out.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Deep rich brown color. Thin head. Nice coffeeish aroma. Good roasted malt dark coffee flavor with a bit of sweetness. Nice full mouthfeel. Nice finish.
