Tap at the saucer in Nashville. Not quite pitch black, more of a liquid see through black with a rice crispy treat colored head. Nothing from the nose, it smells of water and carbonation, I might as well smell a glass of soda water. Flavor is dry copper and processed Hershey’s cocoa powder. This is empty and leaves me wanting. A horrible mint taste is there at the end. just saw how far i differ from what others experienced and i will rerate next chance i get Ap-3 ar-2 tas- 4 pal-2 ov-8

Dark red/brown color with a medium lasting tan head. Aroma is roasty and chocolaty with a hint of cereal. Flavor is balanced with roasted grains and chocolate. Lighter in body than some porters, but not to the point of taking away points. A good brew.

Nice crown head on top of the black body. A good amount of lacing. Typical aroma for a porter: coffee, burnt, toasted, but little in th eway of hops. Didn’t smell much that would label this an "oatmeal" porter. I would’ve expected a little more bread/dough aroma. Taste was good, but not great. A nice little bit of coffee in the long finish.

Pours very dark ruby with off-white head. Nice roasty aroma with a hint of alcohol and hops. Flavor is somewhat weak. Slightly sour and malty at first and then bitter and dry at the end.

Bottle. Pours black with a beautiful off white head. Faint aroma of vanilla and coffee. Very heavy roasted malt flavor. Finish is bitter, slightly dry, with some hints of pepper. There is a very strong aspirin like aftertaste that I am not digging.

Pours a dark dark dark ruby brown with a nice dash of tan head. Nose is roasty with malts and a nice hop under current. Flavor is roasty and malty, but not as pronounced, with a nice hop follow through. Well balanced between sweet and bitter.
