jeremytoni (1081), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Nov 18, 2009 From a bottle poured dark brown with almost no head. Nice sweet toasted malty flavor with a lingering finish. anders37 (4571), Malmö, Sweden Nov 17, 2009 Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty chocolate aroma with hints of coffee. Roasted malty chocolate and coffee flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate finish. foundersfan (12), Ohio, USA Nov 17, 2009 Strong coffee flavor with slight bitter finish. Pretty good porter overall but not the best ive ever had. EricE (450), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Nov 16, 2009 Thick oil like dark pour. Dark tan head. Toffee cream malt aroma. Some roast and chocolate. Bitter flavor. Creamy with a roasted hop finish. StinkBall (16), Asheville, USA Nov 15, 2009 Aroma-burnt malt is first smell, then a slight alcohol smell. Not an awful aroma but not good either.
Appearance-head is too think. Not a good example of Porter but average.
Flavor-the roasted malt dominates the flavor but not a bad flavor. Slightly above average.
Palate-bitterness lingers but so does alcohol taste. Slightly better than average.
Overall-Probably would not drink again but if I had to, I could. Not a bad beer but not a very good one either.
kmyers8807 (29), Ohio, USA Nov 12, 2009 On tap. Very black with tan head. Taste of roasted malts and coffee very well blended together. Bitter as well, but not too much. matthewjk (57), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Nov 10, 2009 Excellent porter! Duh...it’s rated tops in category for a reason. Reminds me the equally formidable Bell’s porter. Can’t ask much more than what Founders is delivering here. Daytonbeer (13), Ohio, USA Nov 10, 2009 Outstanding Porter. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate, and sterile metal. Flavor is a big hit of very bitter dark chocolate with some cola taste. The only thing better than its flavor is the synchronization of aroma, flavor, and feel...together. Wow.
