Clear, dark copper-orange. Sour mash aroma, grassy. Flavor is sour, bitter chocolate. A bit thin

Dark with ruby highlights with a dense white head. Aroma is of roasted coffee while flavor is caramel/coffee. Minimal hop bitterness with a nice pleasant mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a big beige head. Malty , slightly roasted aroma. Mildly roasted flavours teaming up with a bit of nuts and molasses. Overall quite malty impression. Rather good.

clear very dark brown. dark inviting malty aroma, though from the description, i was expecting some peat. i really dig the flavor here, there’s full roast, lighter body, nutty character and a drawn out hopped finish. great balance between dark roast without a heavy body.

Pours dark brown, small white head. Malty, little nutty, finishes with roasts and hint of chocolate. Average porter.

Bottle. Pours a clear reddish brown color with a small off-white head. Roasted malty coffee aroma with some hints of caramel. Sweet roasted malty chocolate and caramel flavor with some hints of licorice. Sweetish malty caramel finish with some hints of chocolate in the aftertaste.

Stale smell, malty but not sweet, a little sour. Appearance is a dark brown with a tan head, typical to the style. The flavor is malty, again not terribly sweet, a little bit of nuts. Not terrible. I’ve definitely had better porters though

Dark brown with a red hue and a creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, oranges, caramel and a bit of chocolate. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of roasted malt, oranges, caramel and light chocolate. It’s a light porter, but charming, especially since the orange notes completely surprise me and they fit so nicely into the overall impression.
