Elevator Coal Porter

Brewed by Elevator Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Columbus, Ohio USA

Dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt. Flavor of roasted malt and milky sweetness. Drinkable.

Floral nose of coffee, cereal, toffee, and brown sugar. The brew is black with garnet ruby highlights. The mostly lasting light brown rocky head leaves fair lace. Sweet, fruity and roasted with moderate acidity and a big finish. The medium body is dry and soft. Special thanks to Jana banana for the elevator binge.

Pours an opaque brownish-black color with a thin beige head. Aroma of malt and nuts. Medium-bodied, and I was struck by a cinnamon flavor out of nowhere which made this an interesting Porter to say the least. Behnid the cinnamon were the more expected flavors of chocolate and malt. Finish still had some cinnamon, along with light hops and nuts. Overall pretty good, and I like the name too.

Pours inky black with very thin white head. Nose is rather clean with mild smoky overtones. The flavor is sweet, slightly smoky, and tends towards dark fruit. No hops evident but that’s OK for this style

sampled at colmbus alefest. very good porter, rich deep brown color with a nice tan head. very roasty and toasty flavor and aroma, carmel and nuttiness. smooth bittering to balance the matliness. good clean finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours darkest brown with a medium tan head. Roasty aroma of coffee and malt with some metallic character. Flavor is roasty and sweet with some coffee and chocolate and no trace of the metal that was in the nose. Good stuff.

Draft at the brewpub: Rich and milky, dark and toasty. Nice lactose sweetness over the top of a lightly bitter porter. Good. Best of the three I tried here.

Light, smokey toast aroma. Deep clear cola brown. Dry with medium nuttiness and parched coffee. Very good balance, smooth and drinkable.
