Dark brown with a light brown head that recedes to a 1/4" layer of foam that sticks around for the duration. Slightly smokey aroma of brown sugar and coffee. Bitter roasted coffee, earth, and light nuttiness in the flavor. Medium body with smooth carbonation. Finish on the dry side.

12 oz bottle from John’s Market - Has a very roasted grain aroma to it. Tastes much like it smells with a nice coffee sweetness to it. This is a pretty good porter. It’s a bit like a nice cup of coffee on a cold ski weekend.

12oz bottle. The pour is a very dark brown with some red highlights. The head is a thin layer of off-white cream and some spotty lacing. The aroma is quite roasty with some nice chocolate notes. The flavor is sweet dark chocolate up front, but the hop bitterness and the roast clean up the finish. Overall a very pleasent, easy-drinking porter.
