Commercial Description:
A unique Highland creation, this robust beer is black in color, very malty with hints of chocolate-roasted flavor and a well balanced hop character.

Deep and rich brown pour with a very very fine head of small bubbles. Nose is slightly sweet and maybe some sweet malty notes. Taste is at first tangy and molassess sweet but resolves into a nice dry roasted malt happiness. Texture is a little thin, but okay. a nice beer.

Poured to a dark chocolate brown with a hint of ruby at the bottom of the glass, a thin tan head that disippated quickly and little lacing. Nose is malty choclate with a hint of oatmeal. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, leaning only slightly to the watery side. Taste is a satisfactory follow-up of the nose, and the finish, though nothing spectacular, is tasty and of medium duration.

Poured a deep brown with red tint. medium tan head. Chocolate malt on the nose. Initially a very smooth beer with a bit of a malted aftertaste. In one word: Creamy. I think this will be my go to Porter!

Bottle: Poured a clear black color porter with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of dry coffee notes with some subtle black chocolate. Taste is a mix between some chocolate note with some dry coffee and lightly sweet notes at the end. Body is a bit thin with some average carbonation. Very well done overall apart from body too thin.

VRBT. Dark brown. Fruity, roasty aroma. Flavor is light chocolate and a bit of coffee. Just so so.

Bottle thanks to Joe. Pours a dark brown color with loads of red hints, a pretty thick light brown head. A nice aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, oats, and light hops. The flavor is very nice, sweet roasted malts, lots of milk chocolate, creamy and full of oatmeal and a slight alcohol warmth. Cocoa and light hops. Very enjoyable. A very nice example of one of my favorite styles. A creamy and full mouthfeel.
