Courtesy of After4ever – thanks Tom. It’s pitch black with a huge, light brown, creamy and lasting head. The aroma has a light sweetness, notes of roasted malt and licorice. The flavour has a light sweetness and a roasted bitterness, notes of chocolate, licorice and it’s smooth and full-bodied and the finish is dry and roasted. It’s charming.

Bottle from footbalm, thanks Eric! Medium statured brown head, good retention and nice lacing. A dark porter, almost black in color. Fat, roasty, chocolatey, coffeeish nose with some hop spiceyness coming through. Medium body, munchy, lightly oily, slick with good carbonation. Nicely roasty, chocolatey, caramely, bittersweet chocolate and lightly spicey. Well balanced. Dry, lingering finish. A nice, big ass Porter. Thanks again Eric!

Pours dark brown with med. brown head and lacings. Nice cocoa hoppy aroma. Bitter chocolate taste. Very smooth and an easy drinker. Need to do a side-by-side with Deschutes Black Butte Porter which I consider a benchmark porter. This version is really good. Recommended.

12oz bottle, courtesy of Schutzenliesel. Thanks, Tom! Pours a hazy, dark chocolate brown color; thin light-tan head with patchy lacing. Lots of nougat, raw peanuts, and some funky, chocolatey cardboard; odd. Medium mouthfeel: chewy nougat, bitter chocolate, and oily peanuts; relaxed carbonation; oily, filling and pleasant overall; tasty save for the nose. Medium finish: dry, toasty malts, and dark chocolate.
