Dragonmead Honey Porter

Aroma is sugary sweet with roasted malt and caramel notes. Black hue with a good looking tan head. Flavor has notes of roasted coffee, chocolate but also an off metal taste. Medium to full bodied and soft. A bit of a cloying feel. Almost there but what happens near the finish kills it.

On tap @ the brew pub: Pours black with a tan coffee colored head. Aroma, chocolate, roasted notes, it was on nitro and you could tell. Flavor, honey, chocolate, some milky notes, sweet and nitro smooth.

On tap: The aroma is a combination of chocolate, roasted coffee, honey, faint smoke, and black licorice. It’s a dark brown with no transparency and a moderate beige head. The flavor starts with some faint cocoa and finishes with roasted coffee, honey, and the faintest touch of black licorice. Thin but soft mouthfeel.

Draft... Way dark, opaque, burnt orange ale with a large, brown head. Subtle aromas of vanilla and cocoa. Just a touch of acetaldehyde in the flavor, but mostly chocolaty and mildly bitter. Full-bodied and ultra-silky with barely noticeable carbonation. Bitter, chocolaty finish... dries out.

not bad...on tap a Crunchy’s...body is dark brown-almost black with medium head...aroma is a tad indistinct, but offers the usual chocolate notes...flavor is quite the same, with a touch of honey (Silphium is dead on with the butterscotch reference as well)...nothing much else to talk about

On tap at Crunchy’s. Dark brown body, thin/medium off-white head. A rather nondescript porter with chocolate notes and an interesting musty, sweet nectary characteristic provided by the honey. Hints of butterscotch. Lacks complexity and punch.

Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma has lots of sweetness mostly from honey. Flavor is thin but very sweet and there is a nice honey aftertaste. A good session beer.

Appears a dark brown/black with a tan head that quickly fades and leaves tiny spotty lacing around the glass. Smell is of ringwood butterscotch with some chocolate malt and caramel. Taste is sweet honey and chocolate with caramel malt. Mouthfeel is sweet, medium/full bodied with a caramel sweetness that overtakes the brew.
