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.

Very rich and slightly smoky nose with a touch of cream. Reminds me of Boulevard Bully Porter. Texture is semi-frothy, flavor is moderately bitter, somewhat acidic, mildly creamy and with a touch of roasted malts. Good stuff. Could be an everyday porter.

Pours brown with a tan head. smells of coffee, chocolate, and some pepper. Taste is malty with some nice chocolate and coffee elements. Bittersweet finish.

Pours a black color with a small beige head. Aroma is malty with hints of slightly roasted coffee. Flavor is kind of bland for a porter with malts dominating in flavor and slight hints of coffee. Slightly better than average porter.

The aroma is of coffee and the color is a dark brown with hues of ruby. The head is small and tan, with some lacing. The flavor is of coffee at first and finishes with a light roasted bitterness. The flavor lingers for a short while on the tongue.

Bottle. Poured black with an average creamy light brown head that lasted and produced fair lacing. Heavy complex roasted malt, molasses and nutty aroma. Medium to full body with a thin texture. Moderate complex sweet flavor with a average light bitter finish.

Very dark beer with little head. Coffee like aroma, some chocolate. Flavour has hints of cocoa and coffee. I had an aftertaste simiilar to the flavour itself. Their is some bitterness, but it still goes down smoother than most of the better known dark beers I have had. I would like to see the Southern Tier people make an attempt at canning this beer as a "draught", like Boddington.

Draught. Pours red-brown with a thick head. Good lacing. Aroma of chocolate and espresso. Roasted malt flavor with coffee and hops. A good porter.
