COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Appearing almost black at first glance, Wild Goose Porter is actually a deep ruby-red ale. Roasted malt flavors accent its velvety finish.

A simple basic one dimensional porter. Yet, enjoyable and drinkable. This brewery makes some good brews. Taste of roasted malt, tastes creamy, nice finish. Very flavorful, I would drink this again and again!

nqualls (1452) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - FEB 3, 2009
12 oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color with ruby red highlights, and a one finger brown head. The aroma was roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor was strong with chocolate, roasted coffee and a bitter finish. This was a much better offering than the oatmeal stout. Would drink this one again.

GMUcrew7 (508) - Mason, Ohio, USA - JUL 5, 2008
Pours very nice deep red color with small tan head. Nice aroma of roasted chocolate malt, but somewhat faint. Flavor is similar, good creamy roasted chocolate flavor with a nice bitterness for excellent balance. Decent beer with good flavor, but a little light on aroma and body.

Goodgrief (1608) - Middletown, Delaware, USA - MAR 23, 2008
Oct. 2007 - Dark pour, pinky finger head and lacing. Weak aroma of roast. Flavor was smooth and chocolatey, with some roasted coffee. Not overly strong, but smooth going down. Not bad.

Bottle 12 fl. oz. Pours a reddish black with a small tan head and a sweet dark chocolate-like aroma. The flavor is sweet, chocolate-like with burned malts and bitterness too. The finish is a tad bitter and sweet creamy. Nice beer

Pours dark brown with small tan head. Roasted malt on the nose. Taste is some roasted malt with a creamy finish. A little bit of bitterness is present also. Very enjoyable beer.
