Commercial Description:
Pipeline Porter is smooth and dark with a distinctive roasty aroma and earthy complexity from its diverse blends of premium malted barley. This celebration of malt unites with freshly roasted 100% Kona coffee grown at Cornwell Estate on Hawaii’s Big Island, lending a unique roasted aroma and flavor. A delicate blend of hops rounds out this palate-pleasing brew.

12 oz bottle from Bev4less. Pours an opaque black color with a small khaki head. The aroma is rich with coffee and a bit of mocha. The flavor is all coffee and nothing but coffee. The mouthfeel is medium malty. The finish is short with lingering coffee. Overall: As a coffee lover this beer really appealed to me, this despite its being rather one-dimensional. Recommended.

This was beer number 22 for me at beerfest. It was rich and smooth. Other than that, I can’t remember.

thanks kegbear. Very cool bottle with a Hawaiian word and translation under the cap. Aroma is dominated by the coffee but smells incredibly smooth. The taste is definite coffee but there is also a nice roasted taste with some malt finish. Very solid porter. Would buy again

pours opague black with a significant tan head. Malty. coffee aroma. Definate coffee flavor, strong and stale. Also sweet. Palate is thin, but foam on the stash, which is a plus!

Pours black from 12 oz bottle, forming little to no foamy head, aroma of chocolates, coffee beans and coconut oil. Flavour much of the same, roasted malts present along with a particular hop balance. Pretty well made, however, the draft version I had at the recent WBF in Durham NC, seemed thicker, richer and had a good size brown foamy head. All in all, delicious and easily quaffable.

Bottle courtesy of Sebletitje. Pours a clear dark brown with a one finger light tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of coffee and not much else. Taste is coffee and light roasted malt. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Not very complex but I like coffee and find this beer to be quite tasty.

Pours black from the bottle with a fizzy brown head that quickly dissapates. Smells and tastes of sugary coffee, faint cocoa, and toasted malts. Predominantly sweet for a porter, but with a warm alcohol finish that helps distinguish it from others in the style.
