Held to the light, it’s a beautiful ruby red. The chocolate is more bakers than milk. The fine carbonation tickles the tongue - this may be unpasteurized. The coffee is more like dregs than fresh - but the bitter aspects ameliorate the effect. Seems to be an elusive hint of cinnamon that ebbs and flows. Very nice porter. Another great creation from Coast Range - and kudos to whoever developed the recipe.

22 oz bottle. Deep copper in color with a thin tan head. Malty and roasty aroma. Roasty flavor. Very roasty. Coffee like roast. Medium bodied. Well balanced. Nice.

Aroma is mild of roasted malt. Dark and opaque with a little layer of tan head. Rich and sweet flavoring with light touch of lightly roasted malt and coffee bean. 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!

22 oz bottle.Thin tan head and you have to really look for the red. Nice r oasty flavors with a medium body. Starts with a mouthfull of espresso and settles into a nice iced coffee (sans cream). More coffee....mmm...coffee..

Aroma starts with a strange fruitiness,almost like Mogan David Concord wine,then settles into a pleasant chocolately maltiness as it warms taste is a delicious full dark chocolate pudding and slight coffee taste,slight sharp carbonic bite,nice roasted finish,thinned a little at the end ,but still one of those unexpected great discoveries you make when trying something new

Bottle from Darkelf. Pours a black color, impervious to light. A large brown head forms, made up of various sized bubbles and slowly fades to a smaller layer. Great lacing is left behind. Aroma is rich, full of roasted grain, chocolate and a hint of coffee. Body lets me down a bit feeling watery at times. Taste is packed full of roasted grain goodness and a more than ample hop bitterness. Quite a tasty porter, if it had a little more body to it this would be fantastic.

Thin head of light brown bubbles. Sweet and roasty aroma with some licorice and a bit of milk chocolate. Color is a very dark brownish black. Very smooth flavor. Some carbon, dark roasted grains, sweet caramel and some dark fruit. No grittyness what-so-ever. Light to medium bodied. Finishes slick and sweet with a lingering roastyness and milk chocolate. Actually a very easy drinking and very smooth porter.
