Pours burnt sienna, with tan head. Aroma and taste of chocoff, some dark malt. Tastes roasty malty with some finishing chocolate. Light palate for a porter.

Had this on tap at the brew pub in Chapel Hill. Dark, dark brown when you hold it up to the light. Tenacious off-white head. Roasty nose and flavor. I would describe the aftertaste as metallic, unfortunately.

Dark Brown, thick creamy tan head. Faint coffee aroma, Very Creamy palate. Nice coffe flavor, but it fades as it finishes. Ends with a veggie flavor and kind of watery. Starts nice, finishes disappointing. 2004 Knoxville Brewer’s Jam.
