Aroma is yeast, dark malts and a light fruitiness. The flavor is chocolate, fruit and a mix of acidity and some hops in the finish.
3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Lighter in body than I expected, given the pitch black appearance. Subtle coffee and toffee flavor. I had it out of the tap, and didn’t get much of any foam at top, nor much palate feel (watery), nor any smell from that foamless head. It was a pretty pedestrian porter, and I’m wondering if I’ve been spoiled with big creamy porters from Founders.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
aroma--coffee, toasted grains, tiny bit of hops and chocolate; appearance--dark brown, big head, dissipates quickly, dark cafe au lait head and persistent lacing; taste--bitter and sour; palate--medium body, creamy texture, very mild carbonation, long astringent, bitter and sour finish. Good porter but a bit thin
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
22oz bottle poured into shaker
Aroma: chocolate malt. Hops. Earthy. Woody
Appearance: Very dark brown pour. Little bit if tan head that faded quickly.
Taste: medium sweet. Light sour. Light bitter.
Palate: lively carbonation. Light body and thin texture. Bitter is light sweet and light bitter.
Overall: This is a thin porter that is a bit hoppy. I'm not a huge fan of hoppy porters but it does have good flavor. This is better than boulevard bully porter but not my favorite.
