bottle. blackish mahogany body, chestnut at the edges. head is thin creamy dark tan. aroma is a little nutty for a porter, light roasted malt. flavor is dry roasted pale chocolate malt, a faintly sour and acidic. bitter mild hop finish and aftertaste. more like a stout, lower profile than I expected.

Another really nice beer from Elysian. The pour shows a deep black body with a 1" dark tan head. Aroma is dominated by chocolate but there is some kind of International coffee cream/chocolate/coffee trifecta going on too. Flavor has more chocolate, brown sugar, coffee and vanilla. Very enjoyable beer.

Smells like chocolate but the taste balances that with a good amount of bitterness. the hops overwhelm the richness on the finish which is too bad. A little too bubbly.

22oz. Pour is deep black with a small brown head. Aromas of roasted malts, slight coffee, and coco. Flavor is full of roasted goodness, dark chocolate, and finishing with coffee. Nice brew here and at 5.4% it is sluggable.

Tap@Brewpub. Chocolate aroma. Opaque colour, yellowish head, good lace. Light sweet, light bitter, chocolate, coffee, hint of licorice, lightly roasted. Soft mouth feel. Pretty good yet still a standard Porter.

After being greeted by a huge rush of gas as the cap was lifted, I poured a huge head of tan that went from the top to the bottom of the glass. Slowly, it broke apart and made it’s way into a growing pool of clear brown brew at the bottom of the glass. The little bit of red that shows through at the extreme edges is the only hint that this isn’t totally opaque. Chalky malt, cocoa powder aroma. Slight smoke. The flavors come from the roast malt here. Heavy toast, some molasses, smoke, chocolate, coffee are all here. Medium body.

bomber by way of nbutler11... pours the usual reddish/orange brown porter color... only darker. it is capped by a tan head which leaves behind a lot of webby lacing as it retreats back into the depths. the nose is pretty faint but improves with some warmth. although it never gets robust and stinky it stays mild, well balanced and pleasant. aromas include a light sourness, toasty grain, chocolate, cream and rosemary. the dry palate is smooth and roasty with flavors of chocolate, light molasses, faint smoke, a hint at coffee, leafy green hops, a pleasant sourness and a spicy earthy hoppy finish. coffee and green hoppiness lingers on the tongue for a bit. the medium body has soft sudsy carbonation which takes up a lot of space in my mouth. the mouth feel is prickly and light from hops and roasty dryness. it is not great but it is solid and flawless and easy drinking. 6.5/4/7.5/4/16/3.8
