Commercial Description:
This deep mahogany beer is full bodied with a dense brown head balancing malty sweet chocolate and caramel flavors with the coffee-like character of black malt. Just enough hops are added to highlight the deep rich malt character.

(Draught) Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head. Has a cocoa and coffee aroma. Flavor of chocolate, coffee, and little toffee.

On tap at the BBB in Augusta: Nice dark color with thick tan head. Aroma is rich and roasty with an emphasis on malt. Very smooth, caramely sweet and full body with a roasted lingering finish. A nice porter.

Black with tan head & lacing. The aroma has some old hops along with light roastyness and a creamy mocha flavor. Very refreshing porter with balance & slight oxidation. Alcohol bite.

Growler on St. Patrick’s Day. I was told this was Aiken Porter. Dark pour. Almost no head though. No idea how long this was in the growler. Nose is roasted malts, chocolate, and bitter coffee. Taste is dark chocolate, roasted malts, and coffee. Body is medium with light to no carbonation. Ends with more roasted malts, dark chocolate coffee and subtle hop bitterness.

Tap. Coffee, chocolate and ash aroma. Opaque black-brown color with small film of a head.. Smooth dark chocolate flavor with a mild astringent finish. Very full flavored porter - very well made.

This was overall a pretty tasty porter. Nice lingering flavors of chocolate mocha, with some toasted malt, and a surprising bit of hops in there as well. Tasty.

Nice Cascade stout aroma. Pitchy with a silky khaki head. Very, very smooth - chickory, cocoa, lightly sweet (lactose?), mild coffee. Excellent pH. Some pruney fruit. Long building bitter finish. Not much CO2. A fine brewpub offering, but more of a stout.
