Draught at the Pump Station. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of rich, chocolatey malt, some peppery hints. Tastes spicy and slightly bitter with a chocolatey finish.

On draught at the brewpub. Pours a deep brown, not quite black, with a thin-moderate tan head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left partial lace. Very pleasant aroma of coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is again roasted malt, coffee and chocolate, although it loses a bit of the coffee and chocolate intensity that is in the aroma. Medium bodied. Light-moderate bitterness at the finish. Very solid porter.

On tap at the Pump Station. Pours a murky brown with a thin beige head. Coffee and chocolate on the front. Medium bodied, roast comes through big time, nice coffee notes. Finishes up with some sweet roast, a touch of coffee, and a slow roast bitterness. One of the better ones of the day.
