3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Creamy, chocolatey, coffee-y. Sweet, comforting. I don’t really like porters that much, but if I’m going to have one, along with Anchor, this is a go-to option.
4.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
12 oz bottle from Princeton’s. Dark brown/black pour with a big creamy tan head with some craters. Faint chocolate aroma with a hint of chocolate. Flavor is totally mocha, like a treat you’d get from a coffee shop. Smooth creamy mouthfeel and a nice lingering finish that keeps the coffee/chocolate flavors dancing on your tongue. Fantastic beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sample from RnH. This pours a dark dark brown with slight ligth brown lacing. Aroma is toffee, roast, and bitter chocolate. The taste is insane - roasty with a definite "weed" flavor, so strange.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a very dark black color with a thin, tan head. Aroma is has notes of dark chocolate and lots of coffee. Flavor is slightly acidic, coffee and roasted malts were there but not overpowering while a sweet chocolate flavor followed up the slightly bitter start at the end. Modest body, slightly thin texture and a good amount of lacing. Overall a pretty enjoyable brew and one that I wouldn’t mind finding again sometime.

Draught sample at the Portland Pub. Fresh off a medal at GABF. I thought this might be a little over-rated at first but just when I was thinking "meh" it warmed up a little. This was great from the high end of cellar all the way to room temperature. lots of coffee and baking chocolate.
