Not your typical porter as I have experienced them to be.This was to my liking as I like a very smooth brew that goes down easy with no bitterness or sharp aftertaste.Good lacing.Great stonebottle.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Ceramic flip-cap bottle. Pours dark velvet, and the nose is of raisins. If this is a porter, then I’m a broadway dancer. This is more like a cross between a brown ale and an amber. It’s good stuff, with the malt coming through with a strong whisper. A slight raisin taste is evident at first, followed by a nice subdued roasted nut flavor. Good stuff, just not worth the price! I can still get this at Spec’s in Houston, but I guess once their supply is out, it’s over.

Caramel and toffee aromas, pours a clear ruby, with a medium sized toffee head, and some pretty lace. Tastes of caramel, toffee and roasted chicory. Quite well balanced, medium bodied, nicely bitter. Well done!

Bottle, DBF 2004. Deep chestnut, moderate white head and gentle condition. Low malt, roast barley and yeast aromas, sweet caramel and more roastiness in the mouth which also lingers into the finish.
