The nicest looking of the 3 beers so far, this pours nicely black with a lasting head. Aroma is plenty malty with just a twinge of roastedness. Similar hop profile as the black ipa, this has a nice long finish. Still pretty hoppy for the style, lively on the palate. Tasty but not as smooth as Id like.

On tap at Greenbush Brewpub. Dark brown with a brown topper. Aroma of roasted sweet malt, coffee and chocolate. Full bodied mouth feel with coffee, roasted malt, dark fruit, lactose, light alcohol and mild acidity.

12oz Bottle. Thanks for sharing Sean! Fruity, aromatic rich dark malt nose. It really runs into a cherry-like umami and almond character. Flavors are good. This is sweet and there’s a slight edge of phenols and styrofoam, that either hint at infection or water issues. Otherwise, this has got some nice beefy porter qualities too it and has been ramped up decently. As much as it wants to say it walks the porter-stout line, I find it pretty safely in Porterland.

On tap at the Haymarket Greenbush event. Pours blac with a dark brown head that dissipates nearly completely. Aroma has a good amount of roasted malts with a backing bitter chocolate note. Flavor is similar with bitter chocolate and dark grains up front with a strong roasted malt finish.

Draft sample at GB. Poured dark brown color with an average fizzy brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate toasted malt and chocolate aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium dark toasted sweet flavor with medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Solid complex beer.

Tasted pour at the source... Pours a murky turbid dark brown caramel hued consistency, completely opaque, some suspended particles throughout, and topped with a thin wispy film of light beige was that originally dissipate completely... Semi-sweet nuttiness and light roast, slightly distant green hoppiness in the background... Flavors follow suit with a mildly sweet nuttyiness to pair with some faint hoppiness in the background. Mild to medium sweetness with a touch of bitterness on the backend. Slightly bigger than medium wth a prickly semi-lively carbonation. Solid porter despite its appearance.

Draft at the source. Dark maroon brown, beautiful beige head, delicate lacing. Aroma of coffee grounds and dark cocoa. Taste is burnt coffee, bitter cocoa, milk chocolate. Nice.

Growler on Christmas Eve. Pours murky dark brown with nice thick tan head. Aromas of heavily roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, and some hops. Flavor of deeply roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, and some hops in the finish. Finishes bitter and dry. Has a real coffee presence but is a pretty solid porter.
