Deep ruby hued chestnut. Frothy, but sticky tan head. Scattered carbonation. Roasted malt aroma of coffee, burnt chocolate and dry nut skins. A bit fluffy but with a heaping of malt flavors. Bittersweet chocolate and singed caramel mixes with harsh black malts, roasted coffee beans and bitter walnut skins. Medium body. Pungent, earthy hoppiness rises to match the rich flavor. Finishes less foamy in body with a long chocolate finish and bitter undertow. The best thing to come from South Carolina, since Nile.

Another decent offering from the Palmetto Brewing Company, although I’m not a big fan of this porter when compared to some of the others I’ve had recently. Very weak aroma as mentioned by Softale, but the flavor packs a little punch. Good coffee roasted flavor although it isn’t extremely chocolatey. Good stuff.

Deep ruby-brown. Aroma is pleasant but not very strong or complex. Nose of coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. This porter is more flavorful than it’s aroma. I’m tasting chocolate, caramel, toffee, coffee and a nice rich maltiness. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, this porter would be enjoyable any time of the year.
