scottw86 (130), New York, USA Sep 6, 2008 Aroma was of roasted malts with maybe some chocolate malts. Taste was good, not too watery. I was surprised how smooth it was. Chocolate, toffee, and caramel were all present. Not bad!
1010 (107), Marysville, Ohio, USA Dec 2, 2008 Pours a deep black with virtually not head What head is there is a slight tan color Smells of roasted malts with a hint of cocoa You can taste the malts, but leaves a little bitter after taste I have had better porters however this one is drinkable WakeandBake (150), Greenville, Michigan, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle.A dark cola color pour,with a finger of kaki colered head,Smells like coffee that’s been sitting around all day on the burner. Very dark and nice.A pleasant surprise with this taste. Very dark and toasty, loads of coffee flavors and caramel malt.Very nice/drinkable little porter here.
porterhouse (991), Alna, Maine, USA Nov 28, 2008 (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??!). TheBeerGod (2874), Newport News, Virginia, USA Nov 21, 2008 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. jmikolich (377), Athens, Ohio, USA Nov 20, 2008 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.
