12oz brown bottle as part of a multi-pack. Pours a dark brown/black nearly opaque body with ruby-red highlights and a half inch of light tan head. Smells toasty with strong caramel notes and a hint of hops. Tastes toasty with toffee and caramel with slight grassy hops toward the finish. Medium-bodied with ample carbonation. A darn good porter for sure, much better than expected, and certainly the best beer from this brewer I’ve had so far.

(Bottle from Lou’s Beverage Barn, part of Dundee "Craft Pack") Pours very dark brown with some rubyish and lighter brown highlights. Two and a half fingers of somewhat lumpy tan head. Aroma of milk chocolate and cocoa, maybe some light coffee roast. Mouthfeel fairly smooth and creamy, quite milkshake-like. Lots of patchy, broken lacing. Flavor is a tasty blend of chocolate and roast with lighter notes of coffee and light bitterness toward finish. A very tasty and quite drinkable porter (why the low scores??!).

Bottle. Dark ruby colored brown. Nearly opaque. Small sticky tan head. Nose is weak chocolate, malt and roasted notes. Some light hops begin to come through. Taste is soft roasted malts, light caramel and light chocolate. The taste on this is a bit thin. I’d suspect this to be in the 4% ABV range but see it’s 6.5%. Really a session style porter. Body is a bit on the thin side but the carbonation is rather creamy so this is too terrible, body-wise. The finish is more light chocolate and roasted notes with some caramel thrown in. Meh.

12oz bottle, this one is dark brown, not quite black, i thought it tasted pretty darn good, but was very thin, and didnt really have much in the way of smell other than roast, not even coffee or chocolate.
