Definitely one of the better porters I’ve had. Pours dark brown from tap with a thin khaki head. Pretty sizable coffee notes on the nose. Coffee on the tongue as well as hints of chocolate. Finish has some hoppiness to it which dries the tongue nicely.

Draft at brewer. Dark brown pour with a tan head. Scent is burned bread and nuts. Taste is malty and roasted coffee, some hops and a hint of tartness?

Transparent nut brown, light body, lightly burnt nose and flavor, some milk chocolate and roasted malt, very thin body and nicely balanced, but a bit lacking.

GT2 (3418) - Washington DC, USA - OCT 26, 2010
22oz courtesy of nimbleprop. Poured a muddy, amber to brown with no head and more like bad cask conditioning bubbles. Aroma is super nutty, pecan pie, roasted walnuts. Taste is watery, slight roasted malt, slight barley husk. Really nothing much to the body. Would do alright as a brown ale.
