Style: Porter

Tap. Dark brown, no real head. Hoppy roasty. The flavors don’t really mesh very well on this one.

Dark brown with ruby-red highlights, huge tan head. Smells of chocolate and malt, sweet and aromatic. Lots of strong, sweet chocolate and coffee hops on palate, peppery and spicy too. Creamy mouthfeel. Pleasant aftertaste of bitter, roasted hops and some alcohol. This is a superb porter.

A fairly robust porter with a lively mouthfeel and hoppy bitterness. Poured with a smallish head with mostly coffee-like taste.

Deep brown. Big tan head. Roasty nose. Sweet, roasty malts, pleasant mouthfeel, faintly sour, nice bitterness, very well balanced, coffeeeeeee. Finishing bitter and wonderful. A very nice porter.

(Bottle) Pours a huge, frothy, almond head and a near opaque reddish body. Nose of toasted malt, watered-down whiskey and metallic. Full coffee and malt flavour. Not as complex as I'd have hoped but definitely above average.

A good looking, smelling, and tasting beer. Nice toasted malts, provide coffee-like flavors. Smooth mouthfeel...really carbonated.

Brown ice-cream float head... creamy and soft. Nose is a tart and soapy metal, gin, and toffee. Huge carbonation, very creamy chocolate and yeast flavor, with a rich coffee note as well. If the carbonation could mellow out a little bit this one would really be nice. Peppy finish, very sweet malts.

This beer rocks! Beautiful, sparkling clear, ruby/burnt orange ale with a medium-sized, creamy, light beige head. Terrific retention and thick, creamy, weeping lacework. Milk chocolate and vanilla in the aroma and flavor. Some minor toasted nuts in there as well. Well-bittered for perfect balance. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, dry finish! Definitely world class stuff! This beer should get up off the bench and bat cleanup!
