Draft sample at SBGF07. Poured dark brown color with a medium off-white fizzy head that mostly lasted and had good lacing. Moderate toasted malty aroma. Medium to full body. Medium balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Not a good style for hot day.

Rating 1061, On tap at the brewery in Nashville TN. Heavy ruby clear. No head but great brown lacing. Nose is thin and malty. Taste is strong malts, oatmeal and chocolate. For the style this is very good. However, I really dislike the style hence my lower than average rating.

Re-rate. On cask, Nashville Blackstone Restaurant. Poured dark brown, medium tan head., ruby highlights. Roasty, spicy nose, hint of floral hops. Flavor is roasty malt, with a nice hop balance leading to a mildly bitter finish. Wonderfully soft mouth feel, typical of cask-conditioned ales. In contrast, the tap version of this porter felt a bit thin.

On tap in Nashville thought this was a decent Porter and I enjoyed the environment at the pub. Then we went to Bosco’s a couple blocks away. Page 63 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide and only 461 Classic Brews to go.

Had on draft. A nice aroma of malts.Had a nice rich chocolate taste to it with a hint of vanilla. It was very drinkable and went down smooth.
