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.

Bottled sample via sammy. Ruby brown to black in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of milk chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, caramel, and a touch of dark berry fruit. Quite chocolate forward in the mouth, with more berry fruit in the middle. Coffee and char dominate the finish, along with some earthy hops. Medium bodied with a slightly lingering sweetness on the finish. Fairly good overall.

Bottle. Brown body, with a huge light brown head. Aroma is liquorice and malt. Flavor is liqourice. Waterish body. I think it´s boring.

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Dark black body with thick brown head. Texture is watery, oily and light bodied. Nose of malts, some chocolate and dark fruits. Taste is similar. Pretty mellow for a porter. Pretty dissapointing.

12oz bottle. Pours pure black, but light in body. Pretty bland flavour to be honest, but I am new to Porters and the Stouts. Definately easy to drink, but this isn’t anything special.

Poured dark brown with a short, dark tan head. Spotty lacing. The aroma was mild chocolate with dry flint rock. The flavor was thin chocolate, and malts with a touch of sour towards the end that reminded me of cheap coffee. Thin and drinkable with a clean finish. Decent. Not exciting.

it pours opaque brown with a dark beige head, a mild coffee bean/cooked dregs, smell, sharp taste, coffee with a lot of hops, tastes herby, leafy. very thick feeling, not expensive, but nothing really stands out with it.
