12oz bottle thanks to westcoastbeerlvr. Surprisingly light, but still dark, brown in color with a small tan head. The aroma is big on chocolate - milk chocolate - with a small amount of roast. The flavor is pretty nice with big Hershey bar notes and a hint of espresso. Some caramel as well. The mouthfeel is a bit watery, detracting a little, and carbonatiOn level is average. Overall above average for a porter, and I appreciate how far north this brewery is...NOT. No but it really is impressive.

Bottle thanks to savnac. Pour is deep clear brown with a small slightly tan head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee with cream, brown sugar, malt, and light cinnamon. Smells smooth and creamy. Flavor is chocolate up front with light malt to follow and a coffee finish. Finish is mix of hops and coffee with bitter notes and a hint of cedar. It’s a solid thirst-quenching porter; goes down pretty easy. Thanks Ira!

Bottle via trade, thanks Ira! Heavy toffee nose in over the roast and chocolate. Deep ruby, nearly pitch pour with a tiny-bubbled light brown head. Taste is sweet and milk chocolaty with light roast and faint coffee. Body a little thin and there’s light woody bitterness. Aftertaste is rich and malty but not particularly dry. Nice little sweet porter!
