Commercial Description:
Plenty of malt and flavor with notes of coffee to balance the hop bitterness and aroma. A strong very dark and complex beer. A tribute to a legend.

Tap at the brewhouse. Great appearance...smoky and chocolate. Mild coffee flavor. Not the best porter, but a decent one. Overall, Flour City impresses me...

Very flat pour. Redish brown in color, light for a porter. Light in body. The roastiness dominates the flavor, with subtle hops coming through. If you are in the mood, this porter can hit you good. Otherwise, it is decent.

Aroma is tootsie rolls. Flavor is bleh. I wish I could say that this was an infection, but this is the 2nd time I’ve had it and thought of burnt rubber. Sweet and watery.

2004 draught at brewery. Pours deep, dark brown with a small tan head. Has a nice roast aroma with plenty of chocolate, coffee, malt and nuts. Thin to medium bodied, this beer was very easy to drink yet it didn’t leave me feeling like it was missing something. Good quality roasted flavors, chocolate, coffee, medium-dark malts, nuts, and some bitterness round out the flavor. It was very smooth, yet quite nicely bitter and full of flavor. My favorite from Flour City so far.

Dark brown w/ very thin, light brown head. Robust aroma of chocolate, coffee, & nuts. Thin, medium feel. Nice, lightly roasted, dry flavour of chocolate, coffee, & nuts.
