Feb 29, 2008 A nice sweet aroma. Flvor is good, with a slight hint of chocolate. A bit of graininess in the finish, a result of the dry-hopping I suppose. Good stuff.

Feb 19, 2008 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a near opaque brown cola brew with a creamy dark beige head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and creamy light ring. Aroma of toasted dark malt, chocolate, roasted nuts, a touch of coffee and vanilla. Taste is medium to full bodied, some carbonation with flavors of mostly toasted dark malt, some light chocolate and roasted nuts. Finish has a mild bitterness with aftertaste of roasted nuts, dark malt and chocolate.

Feb 19, 2008 Bottle. Dark black with a light tan head. Smells of coffee, roast. Taste of coffee, roast, vanilla, nuts, chocolate. A classic porter. The palate is heartier than I’d expect for a porter. Like all Averys, very drinkable and very enjoyable. An excellent session beer!

Feb 12, 2008 12oz bottle. Aroma of dark roasted malt and zesty citrus hops. Some creamy chocolate. Nice balance between creamy sweet malt and zesty bitter hops. Pours opaque brown with a lasting, thick, creamy khaki head. producing nice lacing. Flavor has lots of toasted bitter malt and some citrus, and slightly pine resin, hops. Bittersweet chocolate. A hint of roasted nuts. The dry hopping really adds an interesting aspect to a traditional porter. Medium to full bodied. Creamy. Bitter malt finish.
