Decent porter but there are much better out there. It does have a nice roast to it but that about it.

Sep 4, 2008 Good, solid, workaday porter. No off characteristics. Poured with a lovely frothy foamy head and lotsa lace. Very dark/opaque color. Chocolatey earthy yet soft flavor and body. Clean and balanced. Really good beer. Session as a matter of FACT. Haw. God is on my side.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy.
Pours a dark brown with red hue, tan head. Aroma of chocolate. Flavor of chocolate, dark roast, slight bitter. Mouthfeel is light body, watery, and high carbonation. Overall, allthough the characteristics of a good porter are there, just needs more "Umph" in flavor and mouthfeel. Nice looking bottle though.........

Aug 23, 2008 Otter Creek Stovepipe Porter is deep brown in color with zero head. With a slightly watery look and consistency, this beer is a very characteristic porter. The flavor has some notes of coffee and smoke while a bitter hop backdrop is present.

Aug 15, 2008 I liked this beer as much as any VT beer I tried on this trip! almost a total blackout with a brown head. Roasted malt aroma with some chocolate and coffee. Flavor is coffee and roasted/toasted malt. Good mouthfeel. I like it.
