UPDATED: JUN 7, 2006 Black with tan head, nitrogen pour looks pretty. Aroma is very subdued, but I attribute this to the thick creamy head. Tiny nitro bubbles take their time rising to the top and give this beer a distinctive look. The nitrogen affects the mouthfeel which is similiar to Guinness, but this porter has a greater emphasis on roasted malts. Malty finish with a slight sweetness. Excellent beer, probably the best at Cumberland.

Had this in a sampling glass at the brewpub (and brought a growler home). Pours a dark brown color with a nice fluffy off-white head. The aroma isn’t very strong, but there is a bit of nice maltiness there. Wow, what a great taste. Extremely creamy and smooth. Drinkability and mouthfeel are top notch. Has a slight coffee and malty flavor. Some creamy chocolate there as well. Just wow. Best porter I’ve ever had.

Rich creamy head. Smooth roasty flavor that's slightly sweet. It's hard to find micro's that use nitrogen. Very nice!

Draft: this is a beautiful beer! Pretty much Guinness looking, but a very roasty nose and very chocolatey flavor. Easily my favorite Cumberland beer.
