Commercial Description:
Porter gains it’s robust, full-bodied flavor from dark rich barley malts. We use a blend of munich, crystal, pale ale, black patent and chocolate malts. To these we add hops, filtered water and ale yeast. No adjuncts, additives or preservatives… Not pasteurized.

12 oz. Opaque black with a five-finger head that leaves a sticky frosting on the glass. Elements of coffee, chocolate, smoke, dry earth, and wood in the aroma. Coffee, molasses and milk chocolate front turns just enough to the smoky, oxidized, dry cocoa, and peppery herb flavors to provide an excellent counter to the big malt flavors. Smooth body is a tad larger than medium, slightly oily and finishes with just the right dry touch. Awesome porter for a single or a session.

This was a home run. Awesome coffee color with a carmel beige head that was at least three fingers and never went away. Lacing on the glass was prominent. Strong coffee taste. Really enjoyed the roasted maltiness. I will be drinking more of this gem from the low-country. SC Proud y’all.

Bottle from Ross. Pours a nice ruby red/brown with a tan persistent craemy head. Smells of sweet malt, dark fruit, spices, chocolate and hints to cherries. Taste is of chocolate and tinges of coffee beans with some earthy hops and spicy elements. Mouthfeel is thick and oily. The finish is of bitter chocolate and mellow tartness. This one’s definitely a keeper,

Nice browish Black appearance. Rich in flavor but not too heavy. You should try this when in the Charleston, SC area

what a strange journey for this beer. picked up by bu11zeye on one of his business trips. given to me in Texas in exchange for something or somesuch. i carried it with me from Texas to my new home in Kentucky. now it is finally being consumed at my Uncle’s house on a chilly thursday while i apply online to a bookstore. it has a beautiful brown pour that is dark and shows red in the light. a grey head that is nice. dusty cocoa aroma. taste is chocolate both cocoa and the syrup variety. a nice mouthfeel that is just thick enough to make me take notice. lingering creamy cocoa with a nice vanilla edge. a beer that was worth the trip.
