| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 25, 2007 (22 oz. bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/w target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Decent porter...Pours dark cola brown with about 3 1/2" of light brown head that recedes to an uneven cap of about 1/2". Aroma is milk chocolate and a touch of coffee. Mouthfeel is on the thin side but I believe this is OK for a porter. Flavor is medium-rich milk chocolate and the hint of coffee. Light-medium bitterness through finish as well as some light grassiness. A touch unpolished feeling but fairly tasty.
