This is an excellent porter. Creamy and well rounded. A rich full malt character with hints of chocolate. Served at the brewery, it pours very dark, virtually opaque, with a nice creamy head. The hops are there also, but nothing is overpowering, it just all comes together perfectly.

Sampled at the brewery. Black with a medium sized tan head. Aroma of dark roasted malts, chocolate, mild coffee and a bit of piney hops. Nice roasted malt flavor with dark chocolate and a mildly bitter hop finish.

Thanks to dickinsonbeer for the bottle. Roasted malt aroma with some light coffee. Almost black body with a thin head. Full palate for a porter and nice and creamy. Good solid coffee flavor up front--not bitter at all really. Dry finish. Tastey.

Sampled at the brewery. This was an ok porter, had good chocolate roasted malts, but there did seem to be something off... That said, much better then your standard porter. There was depth, great mouth feel. A very good brew.
