2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Growler, courtesy 4.4-40. Pours a clear, dark, chestnut to mahogany color that shines a deep crimson when strongly backlit. A small, foamy, mocha colored head leaves skinny bands of lacing on the glass. The nose is simple, showing barley roast, coffee, dried cocoa, and a little bit of earthen hops. Flavors are decently balanced, showing some sweet dark caramel up front, followed up by softly roasted coffee, semi-sweet cocoa, and earthy bitterness. Unfortunately, a little diacetyl creeps in, imparting a hint of chemical and butter. The palate is weak, watery, and softly carbonated. It’s drinkable, but not satisfying in the least. I’d most likely pass on a second pour.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Growler) Pours black with huge head, and maybe the best lacing I’ve seen of any beer. Nose is roasted malts, chocolate, and cane sugar. Taste is smooth mildly sweetened chocolate, with a creaminess mixed in nicely as well. This is a great porter.
