3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a perfect clear amber with slightly creamy tan head and spotty. Spot on looking porter in my opinion. The beer is served up too cold so the aroma comes across as meek mustering up notes of mild roasty malts and a hint of dark fruity esters. Not much else in there to pick out. The taste is just like the aroma starting with highly roasted malts that approach burnt mixing with mild dark fruity esters like prunes and figs. Toward midway I get a ripe cherry fruitiness that builds up. The highly roasted maltiness heads off into the finish and well into the after taste. Not much in the way of porter like charred malts in this beer. Very tasty nonetheless.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Red/black with permanent coffee head. Milky coffee. Good if you like that roasted nut character.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
This draft brew from a beer festival poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a . The almost non-existant aroma was malty. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The mild flavor contained notes of mild hops and brown malt. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.
