3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a dark brown with ruby highlights. Light brown head dissipated rather quickly. Nice roastinedd and bitterness, but ballanced a little to far to the sweet side for me. Rather clean finish.

At the Durham World Beer Festival. Garnet with a small tan head. Earthy, roasty chocolate malt nose. Bitter chocolate is intensified in the flavor, and mixed in well with a light nuttiness. Mildly dry finish. Very good.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours dark with a large light brown head. Aroma of nuts and roasted chocolate malts. The flavor is smooth, roast, slight chocolate, nuts, and slight presence of hops in the finish. Good body, decent brew.

Courtesy of Springslicker. Thanks, Jay. Aroma is muted and mostly old book musty and mildly roast/chocolate. Body is a nice looking dark red soldifying to deep brown and even black as it pours, but the head diminishes rapidly-it never really gets formed all the way. Flavor is a decent dollop of chocolate and the beer is amply roasty. The flavor is pretty decent. Body is thin (really thin not the kind of thin Jay says his Coconut Porter is) but the flavor is fairly concentrated and the beer finishes well with a pronounced burnt bitterness.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a beautiful, deep garnet brown with an average sized tan head that falls quickly.
Weak aroma, a bit of chocolate and some roast, but nothing prominent.
The flavor is lightly sweet, but nothing that shouts Porter here. A bit thin.

Pretty basic porter, decent malt taste with a somewhat unpleasant aftertaste. This one has been sitting in the fridge for awhile, but retains all other fresh beer charachteristics. Plain, boring, but OK after a few others have been downed.

Bottle. Pours dark ruby red, tan head. Aroma is malty, nutty, and earthy. Flavor is nutty, earthy, with notes of molasses and coffee. I think Frederick Brewing Co.’s porter is a wee bit better than their Oatmeal Stout.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured dark brown with a tan head. Aroma was a medium strength coffee, some soil, and a hint of chocolate. Flavor was earthy, bitter, dry coffee, buttery chocolate. Dry finish.
