My favorite beer on tap at the brewery. Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. After giving it a chance to warm, the aroma is nice and full of coffee. A little smoke and toasted malts round out the aroma nicely. Very good smelling. Flavor continues with a good amount of fresh brewed coffee and some malty grains in the background. Mouthfeel is fairly thin. For 7%, this seems pretty light. The coffee flavors are strong, but you almost wish there was something more going on in the back to beef it up a little more. It is still very good and very sessionable.

On draft at the brewery, poured a darker brown color, aromas of chocolate, roasted malt, a touch of coffee. Flavors are the same, not the best of this style, but a decent porter none the less, bought some bottles to go.

On tap at Charlie’s steakhouse in Kissimmee. The pour is barely brown in color with a thinnish off white head that dissipates quickly, Smells of caramel and a hint of chocolate with enough earthy hops to keep it balanced. Taste follows the aroma. Malty and a bit sweet with caramel dominant and chocolate, earth, and mineral supporting. Medium to thin body with a spirited level of carbonation and a fizzy sweet mouthfeel. It’s kind of light for a porter, but on an 85 degree day in April it worked for me.

A hazed brown porter with a thin lacing brown head. Aroma of nutty malt, light roasted coffee, light off notes. In mouth, a smooth roasted malts, light coffee, some light lactic points, a bit offf. On tap at brewery, Jan 7 2011.

malt profile is thin and grainy with a bit of coffee. possibly, either stretching the malt too far, using a small amount of black-roasted malts rather than a generous amount of dark-roasted malts, or using water not conducive to the style.

Brown pour with frothy tan head and lace. Aroma is chocolate and sour malt. Flavor of chocolate, roasted malt, light coffee, and a nice malt bitter. Medium bodied with good carbonation. A very nice offering.

Soft ,tantalizing chocolate kiss aroma,seems like its going to be a dreamy Edmond Fitagerald type of porter,taste ,however is a rather harsh black patent type of roastedness,leaving a somewhat bitter aftertaste. These malts are by no means unpleasant,just not quite up to the better porters available,and it seems it would be consumed only by locals.

Bottle. Some bakers chocolate in the aroma, which is mild, along with a dark fruity scent. Dark brown color, thin head, spotty lacing. The flavor consists of chocolate, smokey ash, residual sugar, weak coffee. A little thin in the body. Pretty good.

Draft at Cafe Tu Tu Tango. Poured clear dark brown color with an average fizzy brown head that mostly diminished with minimal lacing. Moderate nuts and chocolate malt aroma. Medium body with a sticky smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium dark chocolate fruity flavor with medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid complex beer.

Roasted nuts, chocolate, and some coffee aroma. Brown to dark brown pour, some foam, not a lot. Roast, nuts, coffee and light chocolate undertones. Rather straightforward. Dry finish. Body is a bit on the thin side. Almost one dimensional, but very drinkable.

aroma of soft chocolate genache melting amogst light sugar. body is opaque with disappearing filth head. flavor is of chocolate and light char at times. hops are present but subdued, pushing their balance from the shadows, providing base bitterness.
