smells very good, like roasted malt and coffee. it also looks quite tasty and is an opaque brownish black with little to no head. there isn’t really much of a taste, it actually tastes a little like its been watered down. there is, however, a slight bitterness and roasted quality to the flavor that can be tasted after a couple sips. its fairly bitter and nicely astringent at the end. i’m satisfied with this brew.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of light roasted malt and caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Good.

Overall an un eventful porter. Lacking a bit of everything, but very drinkable.

Bottle. Pours clear rubied brown with a thin and fading off-white head from an aggressive pour. It does produce a bit of lace. Light pine and roast notes in the nose. Light body and fine carbonation. A small dash of chocolate and some smoke in the taste. The texture goes a bit watery in the middle. Crisp and not too bitter finish. Seems a bit one-dimensional.

12 oz. bottle - pours black with roasted aromas and no head; drinks thin and bitter; blah
