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.

Aug 3, 2008 Has the elements of a great porter, but also has the elements that drag all too many porters down . . . a heavy, woody gut-feel. But flavor-wise it’s delish. No head retention on this one.
Currently playing: Sibelius’s 2nd for the bazillionth time.

Jul 29, 2008 (Bottle). Malty aroma. Near black in color, with a light brown head. Flavor is mostly coffee and malt, with a toffee finish. Not as complex or interesting as some other porters, but not bad.

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle (not the freshest). Pours an almost-but-not-quite-opaque darkest brown with a moderate offwhite head. Aroma is a bit roasty, smoky. Flavor is roasty coffee, cocoa, and a very noticable smokey note. Smoke manages to be the primary flavor while still nicely emphasizing the big, roasty malt. Hop profile is only hinted at at this stage of aging. Well done porter, great if you’re a big fan of smoked porters.
