curly (548), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jun 2, 2009 Pours brown with copper edges with minimal head. Butterscotch aroma and nut. Texture is nice and creamy, with a roast bitter finish. Butters (1622), Virginia, USA Apr 28, 2009 On draft at the hillsboro brewery. Clear brown pour with light mahogany highlights and small tan head. Nose of sweet fruit and toasted toffee malts. Flavor is lactic. Lightly roasty, and has a semi floral hop bitterness. Medium creamy medium full body. Not that bad...for a boscos brew. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Apr 5, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Dark brown-red with a nicely laced beige head. Aroma of simple roast and berries. Taste is solid roast body, chocolate, dark fruit and berries. illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Mar 25, 2009 Draft at Boscos Nashville . Pours a translucent brown with a creamy khaki head. Aroma is of chocolate and dark roasted malt, with some mild nuttiness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor of burnt malts and bitter unsweetened chocolate, countered by an aggressive dry bitterness. Perhaps a little smoke mid palate. This could use a little more sweetness, and was a little too dry for my tastes. A-7 A-4 F-7 P-3 O-13 NachlamSie (1630), Tennessee, USA Mar 25, 2009

This is a rating for Ed’s Porter which has been listed as an alias. Ed’s Porter is dark, dark brown, not really black at all. The aroma is bittersweet and thick with hints of soy sauce, chocolate, and wood. The palate is thicker than I expected with residual citrusy bitterness. The beer is constantly chewy and bittersweet with just a dash of sweet chocolate here and there. This is highly drinkable. I had a much different (better) experience with this porter. (Total Score 3.6)
