Elysian Perseus Porter

Good smoky aroma. A bit of a creamy character. Roasty and smoky, this is a fine porter. Not too sweet and a hint of grain.

bomber - well overdue for a proper rating; dark brown pour with foamy tan head; fresh oats and coffee roast; smooth, medium body; light caramel, dark fruit and roast with my obvious shortfall being the lack of sweetness; lots of oat though

Taste is sharp and crisp with coffee, roasted malt and earthy hops. The hop presence is surprising for a porter. Solid mouthfeel, full-bodied, smooth finish. Good beer.

Bottle at home .. thankt to Space coyote for this one ... deep brown .. thin tan lacing ... sweet roast malt nose ... bit over fizzy ... soft roast ... lots of toffee ... some cola ... some cherry ...

The appearance is dark dark brown, nearly black. Big, pimply, rocky head. Tan rings of lace. Looks sloshy and not stagnant. Dark, roasted mocha/coffee aromas. Raisin and dark grape. Unusual sweet candy flavor; really different and delicious. The taste is smooth mocha and bittersweet cocoa. The sweetness manifests itself as a cherry, grape and dark raisin. Some sour cherry/grape too. Goes from bitter to sweet-n-sour. The feel is chewy and creamy. Pretty smooth actually, for a porter. It’s a smooth ans sweetish porter. I like it a lot. Raisin + mocha + breakfast blend coffee.

courtesy of BA trade. Pours dark brown with beige head. Aroma is malty, hints of roast and chocolate. Flavor, some chocolate nibs, light in body with touch of hop bitterness in finish. Malty with some chocolate, caramel and faint underlying smoke aspect. Light abv and amazingly delicious porter.

Poured dark brown, roasted malts, coffee, little dark fruits, little grape seed, bitter finish.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours deep dark amber with thin white head. The aroma has a mix of chocolate, burnt malts and some caramel. The mixture creates a very pleasing aromatic experience. The taste begins with caramel and a modest level of burnt malts and then moving toward a rich chocolate note by about midway. As the finish approaches the chocolate blends in seamlessly with the roastiness and burnt malts.
