Southern Tier Porter

Pours black with weak, quickly dissipating head that leaves almost zero lacing. The nose is pretty weak, offering some toasted malts, vanilla, and coffee. The flavor consists of coffee, deep roasted malts, a hint of vanilla, and a slight woodiness. The mouth is medium bodied, without a lot of complexity on the tongue. Not too heavy or alcoholic to drink, but lacks the complex flavor that makes one want to drink another. I often buy the Southern Tier sampler pack, and these are always the last three to be grabbed, paling in comparison to the Phin and Matt’s and the Pale Ale.

Very dark color, short tan head. Lots of hints of chocolate and roast. Hints of cream or vanilla. Very thin body. Drinkable.

Dark black in color with a thick creamy light brown head. Rich sweet caramel roasted malt smell. WOW! Deep rich roasted flavor with awesome taste bud popping finish.

A very drinkable porter, clear very dark with little head. Good dark roast flavor but just a little thin.

Great Porter. Smooth, easy to drink, yet extremely flavorful with a long, strong after taste. Pours very dark with a tan, creamy head. Coffee flavors, some chocolate, with smooth and complex hops. Very substancial, yet not overbearing and easy to drink. After taste is very long. Great beer! Try it out.

A solid porter. The pour is almost black with a decent head. The head fades fairly quickly. The aroma is roasted malt and coffee. The taste is the same, but with a little hop kick in there that you notice--especially as the beer warms. Mouthfeel is a little thin, but not terrible.

Bombay mahogany and chestnut colors but very dark. Light wispy head. Roasted toasty grains and coffee in the nose, but it is very light. Coffee is the predominant taste followed by lightly toasted malted grain. Simple but good. Body is medium but a tad towards the watery side. Dry finish.
