Without the Pensacola Lighthouse, who knows how many ships would have succumbed to a dark and foggy night? Find your way out of the dreary rat race and relax with the Lighthouse Porter The Lighthouse Porter is flavorful, without being heavy. An enjoyable sipping beer, you’ll definitely find your way to shore with our Lighthouse Porter

On tap at the brewery. Pour is dark brown/black. Off-white head. Aroma is coffee and roast. Light chocolate. Flavor is similar. It was pretty similar to their stout that was on tap.

CaptainCougar (7093) - Columbia, Maryland, USA - MAR 22, 2013
22oz bottle thanks to jnkor: pour is mostly beige foam that eventually subsides into a transparent dark mahogany liquid. Has a sweet toasty dark caramel malty nose with some dark chocolate and a touch of coffee. Starts with pretty good fullness and light effervescence with sweet toasty caramel malts with some cocoa and light roastiness before a semi-sweet finish. Pretty true to style and drinkable.

This has a very weak with a decent start, start with a homemade brew that it falls apart at the with taste of vegetables and smoke. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

nick76 (4077) - Tampa, Florida, USA - MAR 3, 2013
The aroma is weak and sweet with some coffee, toffee, burnt malt, and chocolate. The appearance is brown with a large head. The taste is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall this is like an amateurish home brew.

Caytinator (577) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - FEB 13, 2013
Pint on tap. Average pour, a little lighter color than I’m used to. "Without being heavy" in the description is an understatement - the body is TOO light for the style, in my opinion. Also, the lack of roasty and bitter flavors makes it smell and taste too sour and has only half the bitterness, no warmth. Not terrible, but hard to recommend.

phaleslu (4431) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - DEC 15, 2012
Draft at Hopjacks Filling Station. Pours a chestnut brown color with a small beige head. Notes of toast, nuts, chocolate, brown sugar. Pretty straightforward. Light bodied, mellow carbonation. Fine.

markwise (3803) - North of Tampa, Florida, USA - DEC 10, 2012
On draft at Pensacola Bay. Pours a porter brown with a tan head. Nose is roasted malts, some chocolate, some dry cocoa, and some earth. Flavor is similar with roast, chocolate, cocoa, and earth. Medium in body and a nice porter overall.

Panama City Beach, Fl - Carousel Grocery Store - 22 oz bomber. Dark brown pour, light off-white head. Aroma of cocoa, hint of coffee. Good solid workingman’s porter flavor, some light milk chocolate, a hint of potting soil,just a touch of black coffee. Mouthfeel has a a touch of chalkiness which I like. Pleasantly surprised.
