4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
The owner said that my tasting glass did not do justice to this beer, so she poured me a hefty amount in a wine glass. She was right - it’s a beautiful beer, and the head doesn’t fully develop in the little sampler glasses. Deep ruby brown color, thick beige head with good retention. Aroma of light coffee and milk chocolate. Taste is similar. Very nice.

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.

Roasty coffee aroma. Black-brown in color. Sweet chewy-chocolatey plus nice roastiness.

16oz draft @ Dock St. Pours black wit caramel accents with a creamy beige ’nitro’ head with great retention. Nose is pretty faint, I pick up a bit of roast. First sip brings forward roasty malts, fruity ale yeast and floral English hops. As it warms, a bit of coffee with cream emerges. A very solid English porter that doesn’t get enough praise in the area.

Draft. Dark brown, translucent, tan head. Mild malt aroma, smooth, medium body. Good all around porter. Recommend.

Poured a dark brown, light red color with a small, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, roast, chocolate, and nuts. Taste of roasty malts, toffee, some caramel, with nuts, and cocoa in the finish.

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.

From the tap poured dark brown with a good amount of head. Nice slightly sweet malty flavor with a quick finish.

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.

Dark brown pour with an off-white head. Roasted malt aroma with strong chocolate notes. I found this to be a good, but typical, porter.
