Dark Brown Color with Light Tan Head. Dark Sweet Malts, Subtle Molasses and Coffee Roasts..Along with a Certain Identifiable ’Organic’ Aroma. Thin Bodied with a Drying Mouthfeel...Nice Dark Malt Flavors...Sweetness of Malts Balance Out Coffee Roasts and Ending Hops.. Chalky Ending. Overall a Well Rounded, Full Flavored Porter. Lacking a bit in Body, but not necessarily compared to What’s on the Market....Solid Porter. Nice to See Well Made Organic Brews.

[eyes] This Porter os darkwith a good 1-2 fingers of foam head that dissipated fast. It had moderate lacing with a notable carbonation. [nouse] The aroma was chocolate and hazelnut. in deep a little notes of coffe. [mouth] The taste was light with note of chocolate malt with a soft bitter finish. Is light in the mouth not complex. Not a bad porter if you like the medium body porters.

Bottle. Pours a brown body with a creamy white top. Tastes organic, i know that vague but that pissed me off right away. Light coffee bitterness, some grainy organic flavor, no etoh or hops to boot. eh.

Pours a dark ruby with creamy beige head with good lacing. Aroma is roasted and grainy. Taste, light chocolat, with light hop bitterness, malty, some coffee. Grainy with oats and barley. Aftertaste offers notes of lactose in the finish. Light finish and smotth.

Pour was dark brown with a light tan head. Definitely on the light side of a porter. Aroma was of chocolate malt, medium coffee roast, and a rich sweetness. Has a very rich and robust roasted malt character that blends very well with the lighter chocolate and coffee flavors. This is a surprising brew. Iit smells and tastes fantastic. Seems to be a more traditional porter than a new age for the darkness is mostly attributed to the roasted malt instead of BP malt which has only been in existence for the last 200 years or so. Definitely a good brew. Give it a try, you’ll like it.

Dark brown pour with a medium foamy tan head that lasted throughout. Nice aroma of roasted malt and coffee, semi-sweet chocolate, and a touch of dark fruit. Flavor is sweet dark chocolate and roasty coffee, with a long bitter finish. Smooth and almost creamy on the palate. Not a bad session porter.
