Commercial Description:
Dark and rich, a palate-full of deep, malty flavors. A multitude of malts and hops make this beer so special. The mash includes a good helping of caramel, chocolate and black malts. We add plenty of Magnum hops to balance the malty wort and two additions of Mt. Hood hops for lots of hop flavor and great aroma. Our porter is a traditional full flavored English style porter with a dark brown, almost black color, lots of body and smooth drinkability.

Thanks to brewdad for giving me a chance to try this. Poured an opaque black. Aroma was faint chocolate. Taste was straight forward, some chocolate and a quick finish. This was fairly thin and weak.

thanks brewdad! You rock! pours a clear dark brown with a frothy off white head. I smell some coffee, chocolate and almost a lagerish smell. I like the flavor. it is medium bodied and the flavor is sweet malt, faint hints of coffee and a line of hop bitterness coats the back of my tongue. not bad...especially in the 14th inning of the All Star game!!!

Average porter...perhaps a bit below. Subtle aromas indicative of the style. Coffee and chocolate on the palate, along with lingering bitterness and chalkiness. Quite thin.

Bottled. Pours a very dark garnet/ black color with a light ivory head. Sweet, caramel and chocolate aroma. Fruity and sweet. Lots of chocolate character. A somewhat chalky, chocolate flavor. Pleasant bitterness. Lingering flavor.
