Bottle thanks to Kramer17801. Poured a deep black body with nice head. Faint aroma of chocolate, creamy coffee. Flavor has a slight chocolate bitetrness to it, light sugar. Decent mouthfeel. Enjoyable.

Bottle, Brewskis in Fayetteville. Dark brown, small layer of light tan. Toffee/butterscotch aroma, a bit of try toast. Full dry toasty flavor, transitioning to a rather buttery finish. I like a bit of diacetyl in my dark beer, but it might be a little heavy here. Still, not bad.

22 oz bottle, via STEPHENDR. Pours a very dark brown body under a fizzy brown head one finger in height. A thick coating of lacing remained as it receded. Aroma is chocolaty and roasty with a dry chalky note. A little yeast, burnt coffee, and roasted peanuts. Flavor is roasty with a little burnt malt astringency and a dry chalkiness up front. Finishes dry with a good amount of lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a somewhat watery texture and moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, this was OK, but I think a little heavy handed on the roasted malt and lacking on the chocolate malt.

Pours very nice with a thick head on it. Take a while to settle down. Has a great base and a smooth taste. Traditional hard aftertaste of a porter.

Black with ruby edges, quickly dissapating tan head. Aroma is coffee, caramel, espresso, toffee. Taste is coffee, toffee, light caramel, some milk chocolate to it, lightly mettalic. Good porter.

Bomber. Thanks, Tever! Jet black. Thick, bubbly tan head that falls to just a film before too long. Humongous coffee and roasty nose. Probably the most coffee-like porter I’ve had. Big coffee on the attack, too, and plenty more throughout the palate. Rich roasts and almonds and a bit of semi sweet chocolate everywhere, but more and more the closer the finish gets. Finish lands dry and nutty and a little puff of hoppy. This is fantastic stuff. Thanks, Tom!

Bottle from Naven. Pours a darkdark brown almost black with a bit of tan foamy head. Very pleasant nose with notes of rosted coffee beans and bakers chocolate. I let it warm in the glass whilst I cooked supper and was able to enjoy a room temp glass of roasted malty chocolatey brew that was perfect with a plate of soy chicken.
