Pours nearly black, with a frothy, well-sustained tan head - dry, roasted malt aroma, with a lot of cocoa - fizzy, full carbonation in the mouth - quite dry, bitter and roasty, with a touch of berry-like fruity character breaking through the notes of espresso and tobacco leaves - develops some vanilla/cream sweetness late, but remains balanced until the finish, where it gets a little strong, with long lingering chocolate flavors - decent.

Thanks to my wife for bringing this one back from Seattle. Worth the trip. I liked this one. Deep dark pour with a brown foamy head. I didn’t get much smoke in the aroma, but the maltiness had that chocolate/bitter coffee aroma and taste. Very little hops spice. Good beer

Very dark brown pour with a medium to big tannish head. Typical porter flavors of chocolate, coffee and caramel and a little smokiness to offset. Interesting take on Porter, and pretty solid overall.

Bottle from new beer. Pours dark brown black body with 2 finger rocky tan head. Caramel, roasty coffee, some light hop aroma. Minerals a bit of calcium and a hint of smoke. Decent porter.

Pours a dark brown almost black with a slowly dissipating tan frothy head. Aromas of sweet burnt malts, little caramel, chocolate, and hops. Flavors of light roasted malts, caramel, hops, and a little chocolate. Semi sweet throughout. I liked the burnt malted taste it leaves in the end. Pretty good for a porter but some of the flavors that should stick out to make an excellent porter is what this one lacked. All around I thought it was pretty decent.
