The aroma was not overly strong, but definitely black cherry. It poured dark with a small cream head and good lacing. The taste was definitely black cherry with a smoky finish and well balanced hops. I’d say this is a good porter, if you like that style, better than Guiness.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle Brown colored body with a little bit of light seeping through. Classic porter nose of cream, light charred grain and soft malted chocolate milk balls. Not a robust porter, more like a classic brown porter. Taste is a little buttery, palate is smooth and creamy, overall it’s quite good, and while I generally like brown porter this one seems a little too close to a brown ale/porter mix.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours dark amber, almost black, with small tan head. The aroma is strong molasses, hints of bitter chocolate, and a faint smoky note. The flavor is ash, bitter chocolate, and cold coffee. Earthy finish, sparkly aftertaste. It’s kind of on the thin side, but is still pretty good.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours with a four finger light tan head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Hints of deep mahogany color. Light carbonation and heavy bodied. Chocolate/coffee nose. Starts sweet, a chocolate/roasted coffee flavor, some bitterness at finish. 12oz bottle gift from Vintage Cellars Blacksburg, VA

[12oz Bottle - Thanks The Beer God]
A deep brown color with a decent head. A nice roasty aroma with a deep malt presence. This had nutty and chocolate flavor and was very easy to drink. Good stuff .

12 oz bottle, via kmweaver. Pours a very dark brown colored body under a moderate fizzy brown head that faded to a thin film. Aroma is very chocolaty with some roast and a lighter vinous note. Some chalky dryness and some yeast as well. Flavor is a balancing act between the roast and chocolate with the roast slightly winning. A touch of alcohol and yeast on the lightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. Texture is fairly watery. Overall, a fairly decent Porter. A little heavy on the roastiness for the style, but still very drinkable.
