3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Beautiful burgandy color with a nice foamy cream colored head. Leaves a nice lace in the glass. The flavor is light with a subtle toasted malt flavor. To me more of an Amber Ale than a Porter. But an overall pleasing drinkable ale.

Way too many hops were added to this Porter. It does not even taste like a Porter. Major disappointment.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 oz bottle into English pint. My bottle reads 6.2% ABV. Pours what seems like black til its held to the light, after which it exposes brown tints, making it look like root beer. Has a small quickly receding beige head. Aroma is bready and like brownies. Taste is mostly sweet with some hop bitterness showing through. Highly carbonated for the style with a milky mouthfeel; full-bodied. A very good porter that deserves better scores on here.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Shipped to me by my wife on a trip to Portland. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with a huge foamy tan head that lingered and produced good lacing. The aroma was moderate cocoa, toasty malts, vanilla and Dr Pepper. The flavor was toasty, malty and sweet with notes of cocoa, vanilla and Dr Pepper. Long finish. Medium body. Well done.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle served in a Guinness pint. Pours dark brown with amber hues. Grey-tan head. The aroma and flavor match. Both are semi-sweet, spicy, and moderately roasty. Not overly complex. Medium body, average carbonation, and a sweet chalky dryish finish. Smooth, sweet, and easy drinking.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Rather sweet porter. Lots of creamed espresso, along with some cocoa. Soft roast. Milky. Zingy hops blend with a bitter-chocolate quality. Pleasant beer, just a little too sweet for me.
3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very effervescent initially. Head faded quickly. Drinkable as a porter should be. Aroma was weak,but the best Dick I’ve tasted.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
From a bottle. Nice little porter. I have to admit I giggled as I purchased the whole Dick’s line of beer, so feel free to ignore this review... but they do a very admirable job. Very drinkable porter.
