3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This porter had a nice dark pour with a slight head.It’s aroma was fruity with strong roasted malt accents. The taste was a rich roasted malt as one would expect from a porter, yet it lacked the complexity of some other porters I have had recently. It seemed a bit light on the palate, but it was very drinkable. One thing I have to remember is that this beer cost less than a dollar a bottle. Maybe there needs to be a value scale as well. If there was this beer would knock the top out.

12oz bottle. Roasty malted aroma along with some coffee notes. Black body with tan head. Good roasted coffee and hints of chocolate. Roated dry coffee aftertaste on the palate. Good brew
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle: Poured a dark brown with a nice tan head. The aroma was roasted malts and chocolate. The flavor was light roasted chocolate malts, a hint of coffee, a hint of vanilla but a little watered down for my liking. Overall, average at best.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Smoked peat and beef jerky scents backed up by a mild chocolate presence. Nice aroma just not robust enough to score higher. Opaque amber/brown pour with a nice frothy head and abundant lacing. Lighter in body than most in this style, bitter-sweet on the tongue. Finishes thin and gets a little cloying. Roasted, toasted malt flavors along with light coffee and chocolate. Slight metallic aftertaste, but fairly flavorful overall. This is almost exactly what I expected from this bottle.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark pour, light head, cute label. Sweet, malty aroma. Light, but well balanced porter, with a touch of coffee flavor.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours deep brown garnet with a creamy 3 finger chocolate milk head that has somewhat poor retention. Aroma is roast, sweet chocolate, vanilla, a little mild coffee. Flavor is roast, stale chocolate, old coffee and a little char. FInish is ashy, dry and bitter cocoa. Body is really too thin for the flavor profile, somewhat under carbonated.
