Flag Porter 1825 Original

An opaque red-brown beer with a small brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of chocolate and the flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, roasted malt, and hops.

Clear brown-red. Nose a bit malty. Flavor has lots of toffee character to it, also bready and figgy.

Deep brown color, chocolate aroma. Poor head retentionSolid creamy mouthfeel without being thick. Bitterness only accentuates the sweet malt character. A fairly good beer, but for some reason it does not seem to fully come together in the end.

bottle no BBD detected Flat, no head. Aroma of Figs, musty, cobwebs, butter. Smooth drinking, light, chocolatey, bitter. Nice light flavorful porter

Rerate Bottle. Still too sweet, no balance, completely flat. Sticky and watery. Glad I revisited this one.

Dark walnut color, reddish highlights. Very small head, quickly diminishing. Smells like cocoa and Godiva liqeur. Taste sweetened coffee with lots of cream. Finish more bitter with a slight tang but also more watery on the palate. From the aroma I expected a bit more. This does alright as a straight up porter but doesn’t hold a candle to Selins Grove.

Deep, dark, almost black with red highlights. Fleeting beige head. Coffee nose. Creamy and smooth in the mouth. Full bodied. Flavor is coffee, sweet.

A very dark beer with a lot of taste. Not too much of an aftertaste with a lot of finish.

Dark roasted coffee bean brown color. Small khaki head of medium bubbles. Smell is chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, and oatmeal/dough. Begins sweet caramel, butterscotch and chocolate, then a little sour cherry and lactate with some raisins. After is sweet and subdued. Very mellow porter, tasty. Bottle purchased at Chevy Chase wine and spirits.
