Hardly a porter it smells good but is just too watery and lacks flavor ... its dark and attractive ah well .... you can pound these but luckily there are only six in the case overall the john labatt variety case was a bust

11.5oz bottle 2/12/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a brown with some ruby tints and has an aroma of roasted malt, lsight coffee, and chocolate. Taste of nothing. This light bodied brew resembles nothing of its aroma. It’s very light and weak.

UPDATED: FEB 13, 2009 Pours like a coke, dark brown with a loud fizzing head that dissipates quickly. Very faint aroma, somewhat sweet and metallic, but very hard to place. Sweet bready malt flavor, with a sweet and somewhat smoky aftertaste. Light and watery body, overall a pretty weak attempt at a porter.

11.5oz - Looks like cola, smells like smoke, tastes vaguely like porter. Not total crap but I’d never buy it on my own.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker glass. LP pours medium brown-colored with a pretty small head. This beer looks pretty similiar to cola. The aroma is light and light mineral water. This is a really bad porter. It is really light and definitely macro built.

Nice looking medium brown shaded porter with ample tan head. Aroma is of nothing discernible. There are some slight hints of chocolate and coffee, but they are overpowered by the wateriness of this, as well as some other unknown taste going on? Overall, not very good.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.5oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: The head is of average size, about one inch thick and it is tan in color. It fades out nearly as fast as it built up, leaving nothing on top and no lacing on the glass. The body is a very dark brown with deep crimson highlights. Smell: Its aroma is very vague and light. There is just a very faint sweet malt with some very light metallic notes. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor has a very bland, somewhat bready malt with some light buttery notes and light metallic/grassy hops. The finish is quick and fairly clean with a slight buttery/mineraly fade. The body and texture are very light and watery with an almost flat carbonation. Notes: I cant believe that you could brew a beer with this much depth in color yet be so thin on the flavor and body!!!

Pours dark brown with a quickly dissipating tan head. Aromas of light coffee, and chocolate. Watery all around with a hint of toffee and chocolate. Not much depth. A watery porter indeed.
