COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
No other beer shows off what malts can do in a beer better than porter. Certified Organic Porter uses a complex blend of five malts that compliment and highlight one another in a harmonious mixture. Only one addition of imported Pacific Gem hops is used to provide a balancing bitterness without introducing any other hop character. While decidedly in the robust porter category, Certified Organic Porter has none of the harsh character people often associate with dark ales. Instead, what one finds is a rich, smooth beer with suggestions of chocolate and just a hint of coffee. So smooth and malty, this porter will convert even the non-dark beer drinker.

UPDATED: FEB 22, 2020 12oz bottle at Pizza Port, Carlsbad, CA on 29/04/2008. A really nice, quite smooth Porter with good body and gentle roasty flavours.

UPDATED: OCT 5, 2019 Pours up a very dark brown nearly black with a thick tan head that reduced to a ring. Aroma is mild roast and chocolate. Taste is mild easily poundable for a porter. Mild roast and chocolate in this one. Easy drinking. I like it.

UPDATED: AUG 26, 2019 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Roasted malt, chocolate, cigarette ash. Not bad. Chocolate seems a little sweet.

UPDATED: JUL 15, 2019 Draught at Gusto Pinsa Romana, no head, very dark brown color, dark bread and chocolate aroma, strong chocolate flavor with ashy notes that become stronger in time. Simple but nice.

UPDATED: JUN 5, 2018 Deep dark chocolate and hint of tobacco flavors. Light body for a porter but smooth mouthfeel and low carbonation without much of a bite. Maybe even cocoa plus bit of mild raspberry flavors here. Sweet without bitterness. Pretty good with lunch salad!

When I read the reviews, then saw how thin this poured, I was ready for a just about average or so-so porter. This definitely didn't let me down. Has a nice bold flavor for thin-textured dark. The chocolate, coffee, toffee, licorice, etc.....are all there, but not super-heavy on the malt. The hop finish is a bit stronger and fresher than average which is nice. I am interested in getting this again, as I only bought a single to sample...................... RESAMPLED ON 3/18/11: Found on sale for $6.99/six @ Whole Foods ($3 off) Jumped on it! 2nd sample is rated just as remembered. This is a solid porter. Loving the discount too.

An OK brew. Not very robust, somewhat thin. Strong chocolate notes subtle coffee notes. Not much bitterness. Not bad but basically a boring, forgettable beer
