Chocolate, cherry, and mediciny notes. Dark brown, no head. Coffee/chocolate palate, creamy texture. Not bad, a bit thin but that’s porter sometimes.

12oz bottle via trade with decaturstevo. Aroma: Nice roastiness with some cocoa, grainy, toffee, and cinnamon notes. Appearance: Dark brown with small walnut highlights. Medium beige head was full and foamy with good retention. Good lacing. Flavor: Medium roastiness with cocoa, coffee, toasted nuts, biscuit, and toffee. Bitterness was light. Finishes clean. Palate: Medium bodied and a little watery. Moderate carbonation. Slight astringency on inside of cheeks. Overall: A good, solid porter. Nice roastiness in aroma and flavor. Mouthfeel could have been a little fuller.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Nice browish Black appearance. Rich in flavor but not too heavy. You should try this when in the Charleston, SC area
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice dark brown color. Aroma favors that of a roasted coffee and chocolate intermix. A smooth porter that allows you to enjoy several bottles. Enjoyable and easier to swallow then some of the heavier porters I have tried in the past.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from decaturstevo. Dark brown with small lacing head. Smells burnt and of coffee. The body was thin but I got used to it. The taste was of burnt coffee and semi sweet chocolate. This beer also gave me heartburn. Thanks, Stevo
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Chocolate, biscuity malt, some citrus and herbal hops are notable in the nose. Opaque black body is topped by a low off white head that recedes to partial cover and ring with some lacing. Strong roast never overwhelms the delicate chocolate and raisin flavours. Malt character is fairly sweet and balances well with decent bitterness. Sweet ness and roastiness continue to spar on the tongue in the aftertaste. Medium body with moderate carbonation and silky texture. Bottle sampled with MartinT, muzzlehatch, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours out a dark brown color with an off-white head. Aroma is roasty, coffee, a little cocoa and malty. Flavors are pretty much the same as the nose, with a bit more emphasis on the coffee angle. A decent brew. Nothing I would turn away.
