Thanks to Mike for this one. Black body, tan head, no lacing. Aroma is chocolate and fruity. Flavor has a bitter baker’s chocolate, and a bit of raspberry towards the end. Very nice.

22 oz. bottle - thanks to fiver29 for the trade; pours dark brown cola and clear along the edges; almost no head and crisp, roasty aromas; nice level of sweetness too; medium body with very slight syrupy texture as it warmed up; some coffee, lots of nuttiness; no surprises or tricks, just a straight up knock down porter

Pour is a black with no head at all. Aroma is a decent coffee with some dark chocolate. Flavor is much of the same but it grew on me the more I drank of it. Lots of roasted dark malt with a nice bakers chocolate and a bit of crips hops. Fairly decent beer and much better at room temp than cold out of the fridge.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of coffee, cream, roasted malts, chocolate, dust, and a touch of piney hops. Poured very dark brown/black in color with a small brown head that disappeared. Opaque. No lacing. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of candi sugar, chocolate, roasted malts, cream, and a touch of piney hops. Medium body. Thin texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet, sugary finish.

First, seemed more of a stout than a porter. High amount of roasted coffee notes accompaniedwith the bitterness associated with coffee. The issue that sticks with me is I get no chocolate in this beer and that is what I use to differentiate stouts and porters. Still pours an opaque brown with a medium tan head. Aroma and taste are of bitter roasted malts. One dimensional and becomes boring.
