From a bottle poured dark brown with almost no head. Nice sweet toasted malty flavor with a lingering finish.

Strong coffee flavor with slight bitter finish. Pretty good porter overall but not the best ive ever had.

Thick oil like dark pour. Dark tan head. Toffee cream malt aroma. Some roast and chocolate. Bitter flavor. Creamy with a roasted hop finish.

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.

On tap. Very black with tan head. Taste of roasted malts and coffee very well blended together. Bitter as well, but not too much.

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.

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.
