Dark brown pour with ruby highlights and a thick off-white head. Big roasted malt nose and flavor: notes of caramel and chocolate with a sharp, almost fruity tang. Very nice.

Dark mahogany pour with a ring of dark tan head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavors of coffee, toffee, and some nuttiness. Medium chewy body with a tart chalk finish.

GABF 2008. Deep copper brown. Nice aromas of cocoa and clay. Rich chocolate flavour with perfectly nuanced notes of roast, prunes, and mild earthy bitterness. Silky mouthfeel, medium bodied. An excellent porter indeed.

Sampled at the 12th Annual Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Ruby brown pour with an eggshell head that lasts as a cover. The color threw me off but I see they say its a brown porter. Very sweet candied fruits and chocolate. Slightly bitter with more sweetness in the finish. Very little roasted malt for a porter. Re-rate on tap at the brewpub. Dark black red hints and a beige head. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malts, some dark fruits and berries, coffee. Original rating: 7:3:6:4:14

(cask) Let me just say this is awesome on cask! Tried it on tap as well, and both are great, but the cask just brings out a fresh hop bitterness lacking in the other version. Dark with some burnt amber highlights . This is a really nicely done brown porter. Lovely chocolate nose with just the lightest shade of roastiness. Mellow chocolate notes ranging from milky to dark. Very drinkable and I think I will order another.
