YURM... delicious porter. Terrific in all the right spots. I could glady put down a few of these on any given night. If that night was cold and snowy and I was sitting by a warm fire.

Poured a watery black with brown hues with a thick and creamy white head. Astringent aroma, no hop or roasted aroma to speak of. Flavor of strong roasted malt, oaky and smokey. Finishes with a coffee flavor. As far as porters go, this one isn’t great.

Dark color. Smell of chocolate, coffee, malt and hops. Tastes very waterdown with some hops, coffee, malt, and chocolate. A roasted bitterness at the end that lingers for a little bit. It could be a little richer in flavor.

Dark Brown color with brown head. Dark chocolate aroma and taste with the dark chocolate bitterness. Porters are not my favor style.

Pours a nearly opaque with dark brown hues and a thin ring of tan head. Aroma of sweet caramely malt, some butterscotchy diacetyl and strong roasted notes. Body starts with a light earthy caramel sweetness and spritzy carbonation revealing lots of dark chocolate and some molasses before a more bitter roasty finish. Fairly true to style, but could use a touch more sweetness and body.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown colour with a weak head. Lovely aroma of chocolate and roastedness. Also in the flavour, ends up light and tasty.

Clear dark brown body with thin tan head. Thick raisin malt aroma. A surprisingly dry taste, roasted malt, worth rolling about in the mouth.

From notes: Bottle courtesy of Immy. Pours black with some brown tinges. A bit of lacing. Aroma is very present - thoroughly enjoyable - mainly chocolate roast. A nice presence of butterscotch. Taste is lighter and watered down compared to the great aroma. A bit of bitterness at the end.
