3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: OCT 11, 2011 Sampler at the brewpub. Pours a light beige head, over a clear, brown (SRM 30) body.....nose is light coffee, chocolate....taste is light coffee, chocolate, with a slightly bitter finish....mouth feel light, carbonation high. This meets the general style of a Porter, but it is light for the style in complexity both in aroma and flavor. BJCP 7/3/12/4/6

Tap @ Estes Park. Deep brown with a small head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Flavors of sweet chocolate malt with a faint hop bitterness. This was one of the better beers from the brewery, full flavored and no apparent flaws.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours an opaque black into the glass with a smallish tan head. Nose is cocoa and chocolate. Mouthfeel is fairly creamy. Nice flavor of coffee, cocoa, toffee and licorice. Not overly carbonated. Nice finish. A good porter than can pair well with wild game, elk steaks or buffalo burgers.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
draft at the brewpub - Pours dark brown with a light tan head. It smells of dark roast malt with chocolate and coffee. The taste is of a coffee accented dark roast malt and while alright, seems kind of dull or flat in flavor. It’s medium bodied and a fairly good brew though I often like porters even more.
