3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from lou18 Thanks!
Pours a nice black with a creamy, foamy head. Clinging lace. Hoppy aroma, with bits of chocolate and candy. Flavor is a rounded caramel with heavy chocolate; strange, subtle. Slight coffee tones permeate the sip. A bit of fruit tries to assert itself in the finish. Strawberry? Palate is suitable. Nice beer.

Thanks to Lou18 for this one. Poured dark brown with a tan head. Aroma was nutty chocolate, coffee, and malts. Flavor was sweet chocolate with some coffee. Oh so smooth and creamy. Milky like chocolate with cream. The sweet chcolate and creamy texture of this one made it a real treat.

dark brown with big nutbrown head. drinkable and fine. roasty and nutty with a hint of chocolate, the brew is not spectacular, but solid.

Not bad, but nothing like the coffee porter on cask. A deep, not-too-sweet roastiness with some nutty and coffee flavors, not much chocolate, and a little creaminess. Medium mouthfeel with some acidity.

Nice aroma. Lovely in the glass, dark with a little creamy beige head. Flavor was lacking, one of the lightest porters I’ve had. Not at all bad, but very thin in flavor and mouthfeel. Super subtle hints of chocolate with a dry finish.

one of the most unremarkable beers I’ve tried. very watery and lacking flavor, depth and body. The look is good...being fr NJ, I was expecting something more.

12 oz bottle, via Thaichile. Pours a clear cola colored body with a finger sized fizzy beige head that faded quickly. Chocolate aroma with light roast notes and some yeast. Flavor is pretty light, with coffee accents and chocolate. A drying finish with some yeast. Pretty thin mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Dry, almost chalky feel on the finish. It’s been years since I’ve had this and I remember it being alot better. Either this was better a few years ago or there are just too many awesome Porters out there that I’m spoiled. Middle of the road stuff.

Thanks to JSquire, at Indy 12/10 gathering. Dark black pour with tan head. Sweet malts and a decent amount of roastedness and a light wood character. Very roasty in the flavor which becomes sweet and then back to a nice toasted malt finish. A little bit of fruityness also appears.
