Tasted from bottle into a odd, tall glass at Tavern of Fine Arts. It poured a clear, dark reddish brown colour with thick, long-lasting beige foam and a little lace. Weak, but true-to-style porter aromas: bread, toast, roasted grain, chocolate notes and bright coffee-like acidity, tart, almost like lacto sourness (perhaps some aciduated malt?), non-descript hops bitterness. Thin body and slick mouthfeel, average carbonation, fairly dry finish. Tasty and refreshing, but not as complex as classic examples.

2013 bottle to a pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy brown amber with a big foamy tan head. Aroma is a very light malt smell. Taste is a little malt and a slightly sweet bitterness that leaves a residual soapy bitterness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

The color of this beer is brown with a small cream-colored head, and the aroma is bread yeast, vanilla, and nutty malts. The taste is slightly sweet, slightly umami, and a touch sour, which is a nice balance, especially once considered alongside the fusion of the medium body, slick texture, average carbonation, and abrupt finish that is more than pleasing.

Pours clear chestnut with a medium off white head. Aroma has cardboard, tootsie rolls, and caramel/chocolate. Flavor is tootsie rolls and dry leaves. Mouthfeel is light/medium and the finish is earthy/bitter and roasty/cocoa.
