Another one of my favorites. This porter pours with a dark brown color (nearly black). Full of coffee and chocolate flavors. Wonderful aroma, and incredibly smooth.

hico county’s version of a porter. This one is smooth, a bit roasted, but without the common nutty flavor found in many porters. Not too malty. Nothing dominates or jumps out as acutely descriptive of this one.

This is a fantastic porter.It pours deep dark brown with a small mocha colored head.It has an incredible flavor of dark chocolate malts with notes of Kola nut ,prunes and mineral water,the water gives it a refreshing electric palate leaving your tongue tingling and mouth watering,it is just exeptional.It has a medium hops presence to let you know you’re drinking a porter,but not an overwhelming bitter,balanced just right,the flavor reminds of a russian imperial stout more than a porter.This is the one of the best Porters/stouts on the planet with a very unique flavor.A must buy.Made by a great California Brewmaster,great job!
