COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This brown porter was brewed with ‘old-world’ style in mind. Black and chocolate malts create its deep mahogany appearance and creamy nutty flavor. A blend of American Centennial and English Fuggles hops lends a delicate hop presence.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a deep dark brown, nice frothy tan head. Very earthy roasted aroma of nuts and some bitter chocolate. Incredibly smooth and drinkable. Well balanced sweet molasses and bitter coffee finish. Great mouthfeel.

Seems a bit light in color, both body and head. The smell is roasty and dark with chocolate and bittersweet chocolate. The taste is kinda light, almost like a more "flavorful brown", without having a lot of robust characteristics that we are used to seeing in American porters, and thats kinda cool. I know its a throw back brew, and given that fact, I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it is.

Pretty standard porter - brown, roasty, slightly nutty aroma. Flavor is slightly sweet with a roasty-chocolate-nutty thing going on that is simple, yet quite tasty. This is one that should make it into regular rotation.
