On tap at Flying Saucer. Pours a dark brown. Aroma of coffee, chocolate. Actually a smooth and lighter Porter. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at brouwerij lane. Beautiful lace on this black beauty. Nice soft roast and milk chocolate with that hint of lactic sour. Flavor is more roasty and and spicy bitter. Less sweet. fairly soft but not particularly full or lively feel. Great. But.

This one poured a medium brown color with a beige head. Aroma was of light roast, chocolate, and mild hops. Flavor was watery, and brown malt, not really porterish im looking for.

Park west porter. Black pour with no head when I received it. Roasty aroma with a bit of chocolate. Chalky tasting with a pretty decent chocolate and roast malt flavour but not a standout for these guys

I had this as the Park West Porter. Pours a dark brown with glints of red. A taupe head disappears as quickly as it develops. Coffee up front on the nose with a note or two of coconut. Light bodied mouthfeel for the style. Dark chocolate with some cherries late. Very smooth finish. Solid.

On tap at Ale House @ Amato’s, listed as "Vandberg/green flash park west porter". Clear black with a thin off-white head. Aroma of semi-dark coffee with some bitter floral hop tones and a mild bitter chocolatiness. Flavor starts sweet with a roasty dark malt tone, quickly turns bitter with the same floral and herbal hop tones from the nose. Semi-sweet chocolatiness throughout. A little too American-hopped and bitter, not enough roasty dark chocolaty sweetness. Basically a black IPA.

Tap @ Green Flash... Poured dark brown with a moderate, khaki head. Some roasty and chalky tones with toasted malted sweetness, hints of coffee and cocoa too. Balanced, nothing crazy. Standard porter.

On tap at Suttree’s Tavern as "Park West Porter". Black, with a creamy brown head. Smells like espresso and dark chocolate. Taste is more of the same. No surprises, just a solid, well made porter.

Draft. Deep brown body with a frothy beige head, fully lasting. Big aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, bread, basement mustiness, The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture and soft carbonation Roast, chocolate and toffee dominate the taste. Light, lingering bitterness accentuates the malt flavors.

From a tap at the brewery, brown in color, minmum head, a little nutty, this was an ok beer.
