2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
(Draught) On tap at the brewery. The brewers should stay away from brewing darker beers because this was an awful example of a porter - the Cooper's Cave lighter beers were indeed above average. Thin, deep brown body and a thin, almonde head. Nose of cocoa. Thin, weak and forgettable. Did I mention thin?

Take home growler from Cooper’s Cave. Smelling sweet with notes of cotton candy, this beer pours sludgy black with a late materializing brown head. This is a delicious, creamy brew with notes of coffee, chocolate and whoppers. Very good and certainly the best beer of the night for me.

This might be the best of their bunch. Nice roasted aroam in a nice MEDIUM body pour. Could taste the hop, the nut and the roasted malt.
This beer wasn’t watered down like the others.

Bomber. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Smells of sweet malt, some chocolate. Tastes bitter and chocolatey with a bitter hint on the finish.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
22 oz. bottle. Poured a nearly opaque brown/black with a tan head that quickly disappeared. Pleasant aroma of chocolate and malt was the highlight of this beer. The initial flavor of this beer was very light chocolate with a hoppy dry finish. As the beer warmed, the chocolate faded and was replaced with an odd tobacco flavor. Also a bit thin for a porter.

Dark brown/black in color with a thick tan head. Aroma is of alcohol/bug spray/plastic. Spicy,roasted malt,medicinal character,malty and chocolatey with a dry finish.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Clear deep ruby with a small tan head, chocolate nose, starts and ends lightly sweet. Odd taste at the end distracts a bit from the beer.

Fresh cream over near-coffee beans...Almond skin topping and roasted dryness...Intense bitterness in the back for this, one of their most interesting offerings...

Slight, sweet bitter chocolate in the nose. Dark brown with ruby highlights, good lace. Mildly roasty flavour but very weak and thin. On tap at the brewery.
