On nitro tap at Cock & Bull.
A nice, well rounded, porter served on a nitro tap. Not a ton of aroma or flavor, but does contains hints of roasted malt. Some burnt flavors stick out as well. Smooth palate and easy to drink.

Aroma of chocolate, light coffee roastiness and a touch of red grape. Appearance was dark amber with bone head. Flavor matched the nose, but with the roast level brought up a notch. Palate is soft and oily. Average.

Nitro on draught at Lexington Beerworks. Big creamy head. Some nut in overall taste. Decent but no heavy body.

Draft. Dark brown pour with a tiny tan head. Scent of chocolate and roasty. Taste is sweet chocolate with a bitter herbal finish. Thin

Really dark and smooth, this one goes down very easy. Little head and tastes like coffee.

Tap (growler). Dark chocolate malt aroma with hint of ash. Dark brown color with minimal head. Mildly sweet chocolate malt flavor with a moderately bitter herbal hops finish. Tasty.

Dark brown with garnet highlights and a creamy tan head. Nutty chocolate aroma and a syrupy chocolate and coffee taste with a sweet malty finish.

On tap in an English pint. Pours black with a cream-colored head. Aroma of the chocolate and smokiness of the porter. Light texture like a Guinness, and the flavor is good but not overpowering. A pretty good beer, but porters aren’t really my style and it’s sort of light for me.

UPDATED: SEP 27, 2010 Nice dark color, cream color head. Rich chocolate taste but it doesn’t overpower. The flavor does not linger. Some beers leave a bitter after taste but not this one.

standard fair porter. bitter, medium body, cereal, toast, hay. decent brew.
