3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light to medium brown, one finger beige head and nice lacing. Milk chocolate dominates on the nose, with moderate roastiness and hints of vanilla and grassy/earthy hops. Flavor is all about the milk choclate sweetness, which starts strong but mellows quickly and avoids being cloying. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, somewhat thin mouthfeel, and a lingering carob/chocolate sweetness.

Bomber to oversized snifter (shared with the Mrs.; thanks stawn). Looks solid; a fairly opaque dark brown with sticky light beige lacing. Smells and tastes solid; dark malt and chocolate with a touch of roast. Nice and smooth on the palate. A good porter.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Roasty aroma as expected. Pours deep coffee-black with slightly tan-colored head that settles off quickly. A decent, but not outstanding porter; lightly roasted flavor..perhaps some chocolate tones. Pretty basic porter.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Smells more like chocolate than it tastes. Pretty basic brown ale taste. Definitely not bad overall, but not quite a porter. Decent.
