Chocolaty malts with prominent sweetness throughout. Very lite hop character. Almost candy-like. Small tan head tops a dark chestnut body. Robist roasty character mixes with sweet maltiness at swallow.

Dark with a tan-brown head. Sweet coffee aroma. A nutty, coffe like flavor with a sweetness to it and mild bitterness in the finish.

Huge fizzy head with a sweet candy aroma. Sweet caramel taste. Not enough hoppiness to balance it out to make it a really good porter.

Cranberry black color with a thick ass layer of dirty white head. Faint sweet chocolate malts in the aroma that increase with time. Bland boring chocolate malts up front, and it seems like those chocolates begin to melt as it warms, also some bitterness up front.

nightly yet transparent color with hidden ruby highlights all under a thick bubbley sky..a sugary candy-like aroma getting dusty, musty, and even shows sticky signs of peanut butter and coffee soaked cardboard...a surprisingly thick mouthfeel exhibiting a nice yet subtle caramel flavor accompanied by slight but pleasant hoppy tones and candy-like malts...mild, refreshing, and even hinting at some hazelnut.

Very dark brown, near opaque, with a rather large fizzy light brown head. Almost resembles a cola. A mild slightly soapy, roasted malt aroma that has a bit of dark chocolate in it. A moderate roasted malt flavor with a fair bitterness in the finish. A tad thin in the body, but over all not a bad porter.

wow...a good looking dark, almost black looking brew with brownish head. tasted of a good mix of chocolate, toffee/coffee and nuts. it's a little watery but overall, this is a pretty good porter!

Dark, mahogany color, yet a little thin/watery looking when held to the light. Head is big and fluffy, tan color. Smells of maple, syrup, chocolate, and some fruit: dark cherries or ripe plum. Tate is a little watery, gently drizzles sweet chocolate over the tongue then transitions to a sour/bitter coffee finish. Nothing great, nothing really terrible. Just a little watery, and not as much flavor as I expect from a porter.
