Jul 7, 2006 Run of the mill micro porter. The brewery is great, a fun place to catch a game but the beer is not great. This porter is an avg beer, try the IPA.

Jan 29, 2006 Tried this at the new location opened in place of the now closed Stoddard’s.
Tried a sampler of all beers on tap, it was amazing that all the beers tasted alike and that is not saying much since they were bad. this was the only beer that did not taste like the others just a function of the roast grains not any better quality I am surprised beers of this quality would even be served....
Could not finish a half-pint of the porter ordered

does not count  Dec 13, 2005 A tan, pillow like head forms as the tiny bubbles cascade. Good aroma. Creamy chocolate and burnt malt flavors dominate. Great example of a porter. This beer is well balanced and a great treat after a hard days work.

Dec 5, 2005 Updated: Jan 21, 2007Poured dark in color. Otherwise this was a fairly mild porter. Definitely targeting the mainstream public here. Did have some burnt aromas typical of most porters. But when it came to taste it was just sort of bland- for a porter. Don’t get me wrong, the flavor was good... there just wasn’t very much of it.
This beer has gotten much better from when they first opened. It has much more flavor although it is still a bit on the mild side. Very drinkable.
