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.

Came in a standard U.S. pint glass. Dark brown color with no head. It had a slight coffee smell. Behind that was an unpleasant sour smell. Tasted like a strong, bitter coffee, then watery. A little roasted malt. The unpleasant smell came forward as a bitter/sour taste. Lighter body and low carbonation. A real disappointment. Watery taste with an off-taste. I asked someone else in my party what they thought of it and they shared the same type of off-taste traits.

Tap at McGuire’s in Destin - not a porter fan, but this one was OK considering - dark color, mild roast flavor, not overpowering, mild chocolate malt flavor

2/3/11. On tap at the Destin location. Brown pour (red with light) under a small khaki head that fades fast. Funky sour bitter infected coffee aroma with lots of cereal grains. Sourish coffee flavor with loads of cereal grains - tastes like I’m eating Wheaties mixed with coffee and a little cough syrup. Meh.

Date: 3/24/2010 Source:Other Sampler at the Destin Pub. Light chocolate aroma. Dark copper brown and clear. Light roast and chocolate flavor with some mineral or oxidized notes. Medium finish with low bitterness.

Pours a dark black and has an aroma and flavour of roasted coffee and chocolate. I drank this out of a shaker.

on tap, pours dark brown with a medium off white head. Roasted coffee and chocolate nose. Cocoa nib and dark malt flavors. Nice and dry finish.

Draft. Small ivory head, opaque body, excellent lacing, and a reddish brown hue. The aroma was malty, sweet and lightly roasty. The flavor was a carbon copy of the aroma with hints of hops. The mouthfeel was smooth and a light-medium bodied porter. Easy to drink but did not knock my socks off overall as the flavor just needed more flavor.

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.

Growler, thanks to fishingnet for sharing! Poured dark brown with a thin brown head. Roasted nose with notes of coffee and nuts. Medium bodied with good carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is very nice roasted malt with a good chocolate presence. Finish is slightly dry with some lingering chocolate notes. Highly drinkable.

Growler courtesy of fishingnet. Poured a dark brown, near black. Nose was toasty malt and smoke. Flavor was toasted malt, ask, some smoke and slight sweet barley.
