Draft at the brewery. Delicious! The most delicious beer I’ve had in months. This brewery kicks ass!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 oz. bottle from City Beverage in Winston-Salem, NC. Dark brown cola-like pour. Nutty aroma blended with light floral hops, hints of dark chocolate, and mild coffee. There is a light smokiness to the flavor as well as chocolate and the finish is pleasantly hoppy. A good porter overall.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice nutty toasty aroma. Great dark brown color with excellent head retention. Flavor has a tartness that I will give them the benefit of the doubt on and guess that they were going for a historical style. Pretty good overall.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22 ounce bottle from Greenlife Grocery in Asheville, NC. Pours a dark brown color with a large tan head. Good head retention and decent lacing. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, caramel and a bit of a hoppy finish. The taste is leafy hops, chocolate and a roasty slightly grainy finish. Medium bodied. Decent beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a copper brown that sits dark chestnut with a one finger light tan head. Aroma is nice, sweet caramelly malt with some notes of coffee and chocolate, mild roast and hints of grain and an earthy undertone. Flavor is very traditional and straightforward while being well executed. Notes of coffee roast and bakers chocolate, dark grains, mild bitterness, earthy with some grain husk, leafy hop character. Palate has a nice crispness and a lasting roast.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours crisp, dark, light head...color of cola. Somewhat minty aroma. Coffee, earthy taste, strong malts. A few off flavors as it sits on the palate. Not my favorite porter.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber. Dark brown, somewhat thin body, dark tan head. Coffee, toffee, and a bit of burn in the flavor and nose. Seems like a slightly smoked porter, yet light and pretty refreshing.
