Atlantic Coal Porter

Brewed by Atlantic Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Bar Harbor, Maine USA

Deep brown color with a thin but creamy tan head. Mild coffee aroma with a roasted malt flavor that is somewhat week and watered down. Cole Porter must be rolling in his grave.

Dark brown basically black except in the light. Almost nothing forms for a head just some small light tan bubbly carbonation sits in spotty islands on top. Coffee and tobacco nose, sweet and roasted. Body is light with strong bitter roasted malts and coffee. A bittering finish lingers nicely with the roasted malt.

(Bottle). Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and slight chocolate. Reddish black body, small light brown head. Nice malty chocolate flavor profile, with some nuts and roastedness. Not much finish, but overall smooth and tasty.

bottle BB march 2007? by way of beachbum25... pours a hazed ruby brown with a huge sandy coral colored head. the cap is enormous, frothy and very light/airy. the foam actually works it’s way out of the bottle as the sediment at the bottom is swirled. the aroma is definitely malty with some chocolate, toasted nuttiness close to coffee, a bit grassy and a spiciness that tingles the nostrils. the flavor is much the same only the hops are noticeably floral and spent pine. there’s a light acidity and bitterness throughout with a dry peppery finish. the aftertaste is of chewed up multi vitamin pills. medium body. when sloshed around the carbonation builds up and actually fills my mouth with foam.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Dark brown/black with lasting flat head and some lace. Roasted chocolate and chocolate chip cookie aroma. Nice bitter roasted chocolate dark fruit with a dry bitter chocolate finish. Medium body and medium carbo. Very nice sessionable classic porter. I could drink this all night.

Bottle in Bar Harbor. I thought this was a great porter, am I out to lunch? I though the aroma and flavour was well developed with chocolate, coffee and just enough hops to balance everything out. I really liked it.

Bottle from beachbum25. pours a super dark brown with a puffy tan head. This bottle actually was overcarbonated a bit. Aroma is very roasty and toasty with chocolate notes. Flavor is dry and roasty. Some hints of chocolate and a hint of hops as well. Decent porter.

An oily dark body and a medium-sized, thick caramel colored head characterize the appearance. Roasty, oaky, slightly smoky aroma, backed by nutty cocoa and a gentle, fruity, blackberry and grape soda undertone. Plenty of character in the taste- again, a coal-like roasty smokiness, an ongoing, lively carbonation, and a very complex bitter chocolate and hop dryness. Great medium to full-bodied texture, grainy and bittersweet (almost like a dark brown ale), with strong roasted coffee notes appearing late in the taste and lingering long into the drying, satisfying finish. A very nice porter, as jazzy as the musician for whom it was named.
