Excellent American style porter from Great Divide. Flavors were rich and chocolately but no overbearing. Smooth and not overpowering due to the 6% abv. Poured dark with a nice frothy head.

Great porter, though not particularly robust. Coffee dominates with some chocolate. Toasty aroma. Pours dark brown with a thick brown head.

Pours dark brown/black with a medium tan head. Aroma has some chalky cocoa, light roastiness, and very mild dark fruit. Flavor has roasty malts, a hint of peat, and some tea notes...odd and very faint shellfish note. Mouthfeel is medium and silky and the finish is roasty/faintly peaty and mildly burnt.

Pours a very dark brown with faint hues of red and very little head. A little light on the nose with typical porter scents of coffee and chocolate. The taste of smokey malts starts this brew out but that taste quickly fades to a dryness in the end. Not a bad porter.

Nice porter. Really enjoyed this. Roasty, malty, and easy to drink. Small notes of coffee.

Good strong porter. I thoroughly enjoyed this brew. I heard great divide will no longer be distributing beer where I live. Bummer they will be missed.

A - Pours a fairly dark brown-black color wit ha finger of frothy tan head atop. The head fades slowly down to a thick ring leaving behind some nice lacing. S - Aroma is a mix of roasted caramel and coffee and some sweet chocolate. There is even some noticeable hops in the background. T - Starts off with lots of roasted coffee and caramel flavor with a bit of hop in the background. Bit of wood as well. Through the middle, some chocolate flavor and stronger roasted flavors come through. The finish is a mix of coffee and dark chocolate that lingers for a while. M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall smooth and even a bit creamy. The roasted flavors really fill the mouth nicely and the coffee flavor that lingers is very pleasant. D - Very drinkable. The coffee and chocolate flavors mix together very nicely. The hop addition is also mixes in really well.

The beer pours a light black, showing brown in the light, with a very disappointing light tan head. It raises maybe half a finger but is gone quickly leaving a disappointing light soapy film. The aroma is pretty subtle, I’d like it to be a little more assertive. What presents itself is mostly coffee a total one noter, sadly. The taste is ALL COFFEE, where’d that come from. Way to much coffee and nothing else. I’m can’t believe this isn’t a coffee stout. Boring and no complexity. The feel is great, totally coasting and lasting.

Tap @ Cockney pub, Århus. Pours dark brown with a brown head. Aroma of oatmeal, coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is much like aroma. Medium body, soft carbonation.

Thanks bro! Pours silky brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma of oats and funk, with some molasses. Roasted oatmeal taste that fades into coffee and bitter chocolate. Mellow and slightly carbonated, with a lighter body. Great aroma, but the taste is lacking intensity and body. Could be great with a little work.
