Forgettable porter. Thin mouthfeel, not much aroma. Roasty malt flavor, with a bit of chocolate and fruit. Roasty tastes burnt when it is this watery. OK, but there are a dozen better porters that are easy to find.

Color is dark with a medium head. Tastes semi smokey and roasted. Has a good taste not too strong but just enough. A good dark beer that isn’t too thick so I can drink it in the summer.

Nearly black body that show a pretty garnet color when held to light. The head is large and light brown. The aroma is rich with chocolate chip pancakes and light coffee. There is a hint of prunes. The taste is light milk chocolate mixed with cheap coffee. There is also some cola. A decent porter, this could use a little more roast character.

12oz bottle served in a shaker glass. Dark brown body that light can barely penetrate topped by a dissipating tan head. Smells of biscuit and chocolate. Smooth roasted flavor with some hints of coffee and bitter chocolate.

This was the only beer of the six in my variety case that doesn’t completely suck! It is too bad that you never see it alone because the variety case was only $24 and I would gladly pay that for a case of this.

12oz brown bottle as part of a multi-pack. Pours a dark brown/black nearly opaque body with ruby-red highlights and a half inch of light tan head. Smells toasty with strong caramel notes and a hint of hops. Tastes toasty with toffee and caramel with slight grassy hops toward the finish. Medium-bodied with ample carbonation. A darn good porter for sure, much better than expected, and certainly the best beer from this brewer I’ve had so far.

12oz - Nicely balanced with a decent roasted profile. Tastes like a proper porter.
