Black ale with a tan creamy head. coffee and smoke aroma. Creamy feel in mouth. Taste of chocolate coffee and smoke. This is an excellent porter.

This is the way I like my porter. Aroma was full of roasty notes, with lots of chocolate, coffee, some carmel and a little bit of that burnt carmel that I really like in a porter. The beer came off the tap opaque black with a tan head that stayed as a film throughout the duration. mmm mmm good, flavor is initially coffee with some flavors of cocoa that leads into burnt toffee, and a roasted heaven. medium-full mouthfull that was silky smooth. One of the best porters I’ve ever had

This beer is a very flavorful, robust porter with fantastic dark chocolate and coffee notes in both aroma and flavor. This beer is very flavorful and delicious, and makes for a perfect beer to have with a desert, and wraps up a visit to one of Duclaw’s locations very nicely. Bad Moon Porter pours to deep brown to ebony color with a thick and creamy tan head, and a soft to moderate amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is just bursting with big, robust aromas of dark chocolate, espresso coffee, roast, and some piney hop aromas. The palate is rich and full on the tongue with lots of big dark chocolate malt flavors, paired with more notes of espresso coffee. I’m really impressed with the chocolate malt character of this beer, one would think they brewed this with real dark/semi sweet chocolates. Bad Moon Porter finishes with more of the big chocolate and coffee flavors, then ends with a roasty, and piney hop bitterness that lingers. This beer is awesome. I matched a pint of this with a sinfully decadent slice of Oreo pie on my last visit to Duclaw. It matched so well, I not only ordered another pint of Bad Moon, I ordered another slice of Oreo pie!

Aroma of coffee, chocolate, maybe some caramel. Tastes of chocolate hint of coffee (but not too bad). A good, well balanced porter.
