22 oz bottle. Very rich, very sweet. A mediocre porter, nothing jumps out at me. Bu I can tell a lot of ingredients were put into it, thick and dark, a good by for 3 bucks.

#50! And not a bad beer for it....pours very, very dark. Flavor is very toasy and nice, with some notes of coffee. Very soft and sipable, although not especially coplex or exciting. A very nice porter, however....

A darker colored porter with a moderate sized tan head. Aroma is roasted coffee with notes of chocolate and caramel. Flavor brings this, some roasty bitterness. More roasty than most porters. Still though, there’s a million others that are a lot like it.

Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a very dark, almost pitck black color. Sweet creamy aroma. Some milk and chocolate as well as some coffee. Very rich and roasty right up front. A fair amount of sweetness. Roasted bitter finish.

black body with some dark brown highlights.nice thick and creamy light brown head that fades after a minute or so.wonderful aroma of coffee,dark fruit,chocolate,roasted malts,and cocoa.flavor blends the characteristics of the aroma,along with some smoke,and bitter hops.palte is long lasting and the mouthfeel is pretty full for a porter.this is yet another awsome brew by elysian.
