Black color, light brown edges & a thin layer of lacing. Nose of sweet candied mocha, licorice & roast. Flavor has a brief astringency but stays in the sweet roast realm 90% of the time. Finishes mochaish & roast with chocolate & coffee

Dark brown with lighter edges. Tannish head. Aromas of roast and chocolate. Some soy and lactose. A touch smoky. The flavor is much the same but seems a bit muted. The roast and bitter hops stand out the most. Creamy palate with a roasty dark malt finish.

black with a tan ring of head, sweet and creamy, roasty flavor somewhat of a medicine like flavor, syrupy malts, dry finish, not a bad porter and not a bad random combination of words for the name either, drugs.

Pitch black. Creamy toasted bread and smoked bran. Good thick palate, mild flavors overall... mild and light toasted malts, creamy coffee. Good, but not complex.

just like Deschutes Black Butte Porter, just not as good, darn. has a good chocolate touch and a lot of molasses. not bad.

Pours black with a nice tan head but no lace. Scent is chocolate and roasted malt. Taste is molases, floral hops, and a touch of chocolate. Not bad at all. Palate is crisp and cleansing; there’s a bit more carbonation than in most Porters. Overall, it’s pretty good and worth trying. Definately better than average.
