Dragonmead Honey Porter

Aroma is sugary sweet with roasted malt and caramel notes. Black hue with a good looking tan head. Flavor has notes of roasted coffee, chocolate but also an off metal taste. Medium to full bodied and soft. A bit of a cloying feel. Almost there but what happens near the finish kills it.

On tap @ the brew pub: Pours black with a tan coffee colored head. Aroma, chocolate, roasted notes, it was on nitro and you could tell. Flavor, honey, chocolate, some milky notes, sweet and nitro smooth.

On tap: The aroma is a combination of chocolate, roasted coffee, honey, faint smoke, and black licorice. It’s a dark brown with no transparency and a moderate beige head. The flavor starts with some faint cocoa and finishes with roasted coffee, honey, and the faintest touch of black licorice. Thin but soft mouthfeel.

Draft... Way dark, opaque, burnt orange ale with a large, brown head. Subtle aromas of vanilla and cocoa. Just a touch of acetaldehyde in the flavor, but mostly chocolaty and mildly bitter. Full-bodied and ultra-silky with barely noticeable carbonation. Bitter, chocolaty finish... dries out.

not bad...on tap a Crunchy’s...body is dark brown-almost black with medium head...aroma is a tad indistinct, but offers the usual chocolate notes...flavor is quite the same, with a touch of honey (Silphium is dead on with the butterscotch reference as well)...nothing much else to talk about
