Commercial Description:
Porter is our darkest beer, but not necessarily our strongest. It is widely held that the darker the beer the stronger the beer, but this is summarily false. The contribution of color comes directly from the color of malt that we use. Some malt is roasted to achieve dark color and coffee-like flavor, which in turn get transferred to the beer. Our Porter is richly complex with overtones of chocolate and espresso beans followed by a subtle flavor of hops. It’s a nourishing beer without being too sweet or filling.

Pours a dark brown/black color with a very thin tan head. Aroma is of sweet malts, chocolate, caramel, coffee, and a hint of dark fruits. Flavor is of roasted malts, chocolate, and coffee at first. Finishes with a slight hint of hops to finish up. A pretty decent porter but I like their hoppy beers much better.

Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Good head retention and creaminess. Hints of coffee, roasted chocolate and piney hops were in the aroma. Taste was quite smooth except for the smoky taste at the end which got a little bitter. Good Porter which I would certainly have again.

Thanks for jayme(Jim) for this one. Has a definite nose of toasty malts with a bit of chocolate cake. I sat down and drank this in about 5 minutes. This is a nice Porter.

For me it was a normal porter. Maybe more like a stoudt but thick with chocolate malts and cofee tones.

Good balance, chocolate malts, very drinkable. Some chocolate and coffee aroma. Taste: Neither overly sweet nor bitter. Black colour, not much head. Some hop bitterness

This isn’t extroadinary but its satisfying with its smokey ember hop flavor and dry finish. The body isn’t as prevalent as with other porters which have that slippery mouthfeel.

In the bottle. Thanks to Springslicker for the beer! Pours coal-black with a reddish hue in the direct light. Dark tan fluffy rich head. The aroma is chocolate and floral (?!). The flavor is smokey and roasted. Seems like the gratuitous body is milky. Sweetness is present, but the tartness of the hops balances this sweetness well. The finish is quick and mild leaving you with a very satisfying beer. Thanks Springslicker!
