Acquired via trade with GAManiac. Thanks, Grant.. continuing the trek through the Duck Rabbit bottles. Pours a dark brown, largely transparent, but dark with ruby edges, decent tan head that dies to a small layer, laces fairly well. Aromas are a nice warminh cocoa, roasted malts, a touch of coffee, and creamy sweetness in the body. Very inviting. Initial is lighter on the palate than expected, but packs some pretty good flavors. Cocoa, milk chocolate, roasted malts, and a nice creamy sweetness. Light coffee with creamer. Backend shows more coffee, chocolate, cream. Light bitterness in the finish doesn’t really play too much of a role. The beer’s strength is it’s flavor, lightness on the palate without skimping on body. Very nice. Aftertaste of roast, coffee, chocolate. Cheers!

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Dark brown pour with an off-white head. Roasted malt aroma. Excellent flavor of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee. This is an outstanding porter that ranks near the top of its category.

Bonus bottle from adrian910ss. Thanks Adrian. Pours a slightly bubbling chocolate brown with a big light tan head. Bakers chocolate, malt, and candy sugar on the nose. Smoke, tobacco, oatmeal, warm melted dark chocolate, cola, and a slight floral note. Mouth is slightly chewy at first but smooths out. Medium dry. Nice robust porter.

a decent porter, has a nice flavor to it, body is smooth a bit velvety, bit of a chocolate aroma, bit of a roast malt/coffee taste.

This is another one Bob brought back from Myrtle beach and then brought out at the Father’ day party. Pours black with tan head. aroma is sweet with roasted malt and some cocoa. mouthful is smooth with cocoa and finishes a little tart. very nice easy drinking porter.

Bottle. Aroma of raisinets, burnt caramel, more general milk chocolate. In the mouth the dark fruits come out more with raisins, plums, a touch of prunes, as well as lovely earthy bitterness, to go with all the burnt caramel and milk chocolate notes, often bordering on mocha. Quite a classy porter.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a thick light tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, sweet malt, chocolate covered pretzels. Flavor of nice roasted malt and bitter chocolate with some vegetal notes. Nice sturdy palate. It wore a little on me...on the whole it is a decent beer though. 7/4/7/4/14 (3.6/5)
