Jmichael (537), Asheville, North Carolina, USA Mar 29, 2007 draft at the pub. good solid black pour, they changed the name to Ninja Porter, I guess to change up the marketing schematic. a good house porter.
Retorp (2158), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 18, 2008 Growler. Low key aroma with mild roast malt and chocolate. Dark brown body with a wispy fading tan head. Lightly astringent, bitter roast malts, mild chocolate. Some sweet cream and vanilla notes in the finish. Thin bodied. aracauna (2238), Georgia, USA Jul 10, 2008 Thre’s not a lot of aroma, but this has a good flavor. Nice chocolate, the suggestion of char and an unexpected fresh c hop character. Tasty. the_chandler (184), West Virginia, USA Jun 18, 2008 After having the Marz Zen, I was pretty iffy about trying other Asheville products, but I figured I’d might as well. Pour was a dark brown. Aroma was a bit nutty, but not much. Flavor was interesting. Smooth and nuttty. Good malt flavor. Much more like a brown ale than a porter. Pretty good. Glad I gave them another shot at least. beerguy101 (3475), Newark, California, USA Jun 3, 2008 This porter pours a medium black color from the tap at the brewpub. Small to medium sized beige foamy head. The aroma is coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. A medium bodied porter. The malts are chocolate and coffee. The hops are earthy. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. phishpond417 (1409), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA May 29, 2008 it pours a dark brown colour, with a pretty big head that continued to overflow. once it settled down, it had a rich deep coffe aroma and a clean sweet malted finish.
