Dark brown/hazel pour with a two finger dirty white foamy head. Cocoa and coffee on the nose. Touch of alcohol at the roof of the mouth. Stale coffee beans at the front that get fresher towards the end. Hint of dark fruits.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours black, with a medium light brown head. Smells of rich, roasty malts, nuts, and some sweet caramel malt. The flavor is of some light chocolate mocha, good doses of vanilla, and some syrupy sugars. Maybe a touch of dark fruit is noticeable as well. Pretty simple porter, not overly complex, but drinks pretty well for what it is.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep red-brown. Wispy mocha head. Nose smoke, charcoal, bit of coffee. Palate is a mite thin, not enough body. Flavor is quite smoky, sharp roasts. Faint chocolate, mostly coffee bitterness. Needs a better palate, just doesn’t have enough heft to stand up to the nice roastiness.

Much Thanks go out to Stine for this one. Pours out a nice deep brown with slight reddish hues. Very small off-white head. Aroma is of milked down coffee, roasted malts and slight chocolate. Flavor is of bittersweet chocolate, lightly roasted malt, and slight coffee notes. Finishes a bit dry with some hop notes. Not bad...
