3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampler at Flat 12. Darker brown, substantial head. Nose is some roasted coffee and quite a bit of earthiness. Taste is some sweet, more bitter. Not too heavy on the palate. A little too dirty tasting for me, and not like there’s something wrong, but just like the roast is too much I guess for the lighter body. It’s not bad, though.

Draft. Deep brown body with a frothy tan head, mostly lasting. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, nuts, dark chocolate with a hint of caramel. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery turning smooth texture, moderate carbonation. Dry finish with a slight metallic taste. the dominant tastes are roast and coffee with undertones of chocolate. Nice.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
From a pint glass at Snap’s. Pours super dark brown and the medium tan head is small and fades to a thin film. Nose is toasted popcorns, sweet bread, heavy rich chocolate and light caramels. Flavor is sweet caramel, milk chocolate and sweet and bitter finish but not heavy sweet just easy drinking sweet. mouthfeel is smooth and full bodied for such a small beer.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a dark dark brown with a thin light tan head. Aroma of charred/roasted malt, bitter chocolate, hint of coffee. Flavor of parmesean cheese and roasted malt. Decent porter, but I liked their stout better.
