Dark brown color with a medium head. No aroma. Slight coffee and burnt roast taste. Watery body. Oh, here comes the Lysol Patrol again! Can’t have a beer without that wonderful aerosol quality to it! Ugh.

[Tap] Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head. Decent lacing. Aroma of molasses and caramel. The taste is of roasted malts, astringent grains, burnt toffee and some cocoa. Seems a bit thin to me. Nothing offputting here, but I was unimpressed by this one.

Had about a 7 oz glass of this a couple of weeks ago at the Corner Pub. This is simmilar to the other beers I had of theirs with the exception of the Cream Ale in that they’re watery. This was served with a pale tan, small head and a bit of lace. Color was dark brown. Aroma was a slightly roasty and sweet malt. Flavor was the same and shallow. Body is thin with sharp carbonation. Bit of dark caramel in the finish. Not a lot there. Bartender said it was a local favorite. Not a session beer.

On tap at the Wisconsin Micro-Brewer’s Beer Fest. Poured medium-deep brown with a well-retained tan head. The aroma picked up sweeter roasted black patent and grainy notes, leaving an underattenuated impression. The flavor was sweet again with chocolate, black patent, and lesser coffee present at the core.. roasty finish picked up light earthy bitterness and pine. Medium-bodied and dry on the palate with a grainy feel to it.. OK balance, but the flow was off.

On draught at the brewpub in Reedsburg, Wisconsin as simply "Corner Pub Porter." Pours a nearly opaque dark brown brew with a decent off-white head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, some roasted nuts, flowery hops and dark bittersweet chocolate. Taste is medium to full bodied, light carbonation, and flavors of sweet dark malt, chocolate dark pitted berries and a touch of coffee. Finish is slightly mild bitter with a dark bread and sour berry aftertaste. Much better than the previous brewmaster’s brew.

Dark Brown Coloring with Sandy Skink. Faint if Any Aroma. Dry Malt, Coffee Roast Notes. Dry Bitter Aftertaste. Thin Mouthfeel and With all These Brews, Taste Like There’s Sanitation Issues with the Brewing.

Opulent chestnut brown in color with some sort of thin tan splotch in the center and on the edges. Aroma of birch, toasty graham crackers and a chocolate confectionary block. Creamy body at first, then slips into a coma of moderation. Cocoa syrup, chocolate morsels and maybe a dash of instant coffee. If I had a dollar for every brewpub stout/porter that tasted exactly like this, I’d be a rich, rich man.

On tap at the pub. Dark brown color with almost no head. Very thin feel, an Ok porter.

Festival tap: deep brown with smokey nose. Some vinous flavor, vanilla. Light all around. finishes peaty again with anice hints.

Dark mohagany color with a fluffy tan head. Fruity blackberry aroma with a hint of darl roasted malts. Flavors of vanilla, black malt and blueberries. thin feel and somewhat tinny. Needs a little more depth.
