On tap at the brewery. Nice porter. Black color with choclaty notes. A hint of coffee. A nice example of the style.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 11/10/2007 Fruity aroma. Dark coloured slightly rich on the palate and fruity with some bitterness in a crisp roast finish.

Dark with a nice fluffy head. A bit mild and roasty. Taste is sweet and roasty with some sweetness. Not bad.

Deep brown with hints of red. Tan head and lace. Peat and toasted malt on the nose. Rich toasted malt and vanilla flavor with a light to medium bitter. Creamy full bodied. Nice porter. Head and shoulders above the beers I had to this point.

Poured a dark brown with a small white/tannish head that lasted probably half way down the glass. The flavor was coffee, chocolate. Palate was nice with beautiful carbonation. One of my favorites at this brewpub.

Poured a nearly opaque brown, with blonde highlights. Little head or lacing. Smelled and tasted a bit like iced coffee. Carbonation was pretty much spot on, flavor was mild, yet all the right flavors were there, the coffee, the malt, the slightest hint of toffee. Looks like a Porter or almost even a stout, yet tastes more like a Porter leaning towars a Brown. However, that’s not a bad thing and it might be the best out of the handfull of Pizzeria Uno offerings I’ve tried.

Pint served very cold. Hazy dark brown pour leaving a lasting beige foam. Surprisingly hoppy and ridiculously cheap at 1.75$. Bready, well-roasted ale with flowery aromas. Gentle brown chocolate flavours together with a minimally lactic tang. Highly effervescent, exaggeratedly so even cuts the flavour evolution short and bites the tongue sharply and unfortunately.

Several samples at "Central Jersey" beerfest. Basic porter qualities of roast coffee and chocolate malts, with a slightly minerally finish. Balanced, tasty and easy to please.

UPDATED: NOV 1, 2007 Good malt smell, with a little molasses and chocolate. Dark, almost stout-looking, with a nice large head that hung around a while. Good malt taste to start, that turned to hoppy and a bit of smoke. Finished with a nice smokey finish. Very nice porter - really almost a stout.

This was the standout of my trip to the brewpub. Dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is nice- chocolate, caramel.toffee, light notes of smoke and earthy hops. Taste is chocolate, caramel, earthy hops, some dark fruit, with a lightly astrigent and light to moderately bitter finish. really nice porter.
