Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting on 12/4/08: This beer is a nearly opaque dark brown color with a thin and foamy light brown head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Roasted coffee and malt in the nose plus a bit of chocolate. Medium, dry body with flavors of roasted coffee and malt, plus some hops. The finish is roasted malt with a short sweet chocolate aftertaste. Above average overall.

Pours dark brown/black with a medium creamy tan head. The aroma is faint roast, coffee, and chocolate. The taste is coffee, roast, semi-sweet chocolate, and some burnt notes. Chalky texture and mouthfeel. A bit bland but it’s ok.

Draft: pours a deep black brown with thickness. Head was light brown/tan. Aroma is roasted malt. Taste was bakers chocolate, licorice, roasty malt and dry finish.

Pours bla k with a thin creme head. The aroma is full of black licorice with roasted coffee. Very thin and almost watery mouthfeel. Thinly roasted coffee and licorice with slightly bitter undertones.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a hint of red. The thin tan head quickly disappeared. Low marks for appearance due to floating chunks of yeast in the beer. Coffee, roasted malt, and chocolate aromas. The flavors included roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee with an acidic aftertaste. Low carbonation and watery mouthfeel.

Pours a dark brown with a tan head.Aromas of coffee and roasted malts. Flavor is mainly of light roasted malt and a tick of coffee.Body is a little thin,but still very drinkable.

12 oz bottle. pours black. kind of bitter. ok. i dont know whats goin on with this beer

Bottle. Dark brown to black body with a short, but lasting tan head. Pleasant aroma of sweet milk chocolate and roasted malts with a hint of coffee. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately bitter and dry. Lasting bitterness and an astringency in the aftertaste. The taste of unsweetened, bitter chocolate is in the forefront and behind that is sugary sweetness. Medium body with a watery texture that’s fairly smooth. The flavors and tastes in this beer seem at odds — at once too sweet with too much lingering, biting bitterness.

12 oz bottle. Pours pure black, with coffee coloured head. Amora is smoky, malty. Strong smoky, malt flavour, gentle hint of hops. Very good porter.

Bottle: Mahogany pour, tan dissipating head with a creamy character, above average hopped finish and bitterness. Not bad, but not really that memorable.

Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting at Dogbricks on 12/4/08. Color is a mostly clear medium brown with some off-white head. Very malty aroma with a tad bit of hop and roast. Roasty and creamy flavor, but could use a little more on the finish.
