3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Thanks to hopdog. Pours a dark brown with some red when held to light with a bubbly bordering on creamy tan head that laced. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, roasted malt and light coffee. Flavor of coffee, chocolate, some bitter hop at the tail. Bordering on the watery side.

Black, minimal head dissipated quickly. Dark coffee aroma, roasty chocolate taste, but also something lighter, hops and malts very well balanced. Palate would be perfect if a little thicker. On pure taste, one of the best I’ve had.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is the third porter I’ve had recently, and probably the most well-balanced of the trio. Pours a dark opaque brown with a minimal orange-brown head which quickly recedes to nothing. This beer starts with a bit of pineapple fruitiness, which quickly yields (with the appearance of some tingly carbonation on the palate) to a mild smokey, bitterness which is pleasant, and not over powering. The aroma of this beer is dominantly of coffee. There is a nice smooth finish.

Bottle courtesy of Immy. Thanks Tim! Poured a thick black with a small brown, creamy head that quickly dissipated. The aroma a fairly faint at first but more distinct as it warmed. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and some roastiness. The flavor was a sweet chocolate and coffee mix. Medium body with a coffee aftertaste. Very enjoyable Porter.
