Commercial Description:
This medium-bodied ale is dark in color and deceiving on the palate. The glassy smooth finish of this beer is your first hint that dark in color doesn't always mean heavy in stomach.

Bottle says Contorter Porter. Pours dark dark brown with a thin off white to light brown head. Can see a few light floaties in here. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Taste is light chocolate, caramel and a little berry. Thin body, watery. Decent.

Middling at best porter. Finish and aftertaste is probably admirable aspect, but is not one to bother with.

Dark brown with a dissipating beige head. Aromas of mild caramel, dark chocolate and hint of coffee. Caramel and mild cocoa in the flavors. Finish is quite dry with a touch of roasted malt and a bit of nuttiness.

This one was under the label of "DisPORTERly Conduct". Very nice dark mahogany (but clear) ale with little head. Good roasty burnt flavor along with chocolate. A bit watery perhaps, but a nice offering nonetheless.

On Tap. Pours a dark brown color with a soapy tan colored head. Aroma is chocolate, roast, coffee. Flavor is caramel, chocolate, light hops. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished bitter. So-so.

Pours a nice dark brown. Aroma is chocolate with caramel hints. It’s a flatter tasting porter but that’s why I like it more than most porters. It’s easy to drink, less filling, and not as thick and in your face as others. Tastes good to boot.

On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a lightly lacing dense tan head. Sweet lightly sugary caramel malty nose has some roasted malt and mild butterscotch. Body starts fairly full with well-dissolved CO2 and some sticky caramel malt along with a touch of milk chocolate toward a slightly thinner, lightly toasted nutty finish. Could use a little more malty sweetness and body.
