Cambridge Charles River Porter

Brewed by Cambridge Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Cambridge, Massachusetts USA

Had on tap at the brewpub. Poured a dark brown color with faint aroma of caramel and chocolate. Taste was of roasted malts and caramel with a light coffee flavor involved.

draft from brewpub..... pours a dark brown with reddish hues at the edges which was accomanied by an off-white head at the edges...... aroma of simplistic chocolate and roasted malt..... flavor of chocolate and a nice degree of roastiness.carbonation level was just about which contributed overall to the enjoyment of the brew.

Light, hoppy aroma. Nice smoky, coffee flavor. This solid porter reminded me of a light stout. It probably should not be served so cold.

Draft. Licorice, Coke-syrup black with light highlight in color. Soapy, lacey, tan-white foam coating the glass. Oak, nutty, with clear caramel hint shining through in aroma. Thin body with muted flavoring on the tongue. Finishes with a distinctive and strong coffee ground delivery in the back of the throat. smooth and drinkable. A real coffee-lover’s porter but not for me. Someone gut the middle flavoring of this. I want it back.

Barely transparent dark mahogany ruby pour has a full-lacing coating of rich light brown head. Aroma of lightly dark chocolatey sweet malts with a hint of roast. Body starts with some sweet dark caramely malts, some molten dark chocolate and a touch of roasted coffee toward the lingering finish. A good, drinkable porter.

Roasty and rich with a sharp hoppiness. I struggle to get at the porter flavors through the hops, but I like it.

On tap at CBC 10/26/07. Dark brown with light brown edges. Very roasty, some choclate in the flavor. More roast with a hoppy finish. Pretty good porter.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Opaque dark brown pour with a thick, slowly dissipating tan head, chocolate maltiness in the nose with smoke, bitter coffee and a finish with sweet chocolate. Quite good!
