Draught, Destin
Chocolatey nose, dark brown body. Rich chocolately, toasty. Complex with a dryish finish. 3-6-7-4-14 = 3.4

Deep chestnut brown with thick tan head and lots of lacing. Coffee aroma, smelling rich, creamy and slightly acidic. Loads of coffee throughout. Creamy mouthfeel and nice lingering chocolate malt.

on tap-pours a thin retaining tan head and copper color. Aroma is rich medium/dark malt-roasty/peat/cocoa. Taste is medium/dark malt-roasty/peat/cocoa, secondary earthy hops.

tap at Mad Anthony Oktoberfest - Pours brown, not even dark brown really, which is odd for a porter. There’s a thin off-white head and a light, roast malt aroma. The flavor is mainly just easy going roast malt with some hops coming through in the finish. Not bad, but it’s less than impressive for a porter.

Draft at the brewpub. Clear brown with a khaki head. Nice roasted malt aroma with a cream note. Again with the roast and a strong bitter finish. Medium body with average carbonation and a balanced finish. Easy drinking yet robust.
