Commercial Description:
Pipeline Porter is smooth and dark with a distinctive roasty aroma and earthy complexity from its diverse blends of premium malted barley. This celebration of malt unites with freshly roasted 100% Kona coffee grown at Cornwell Estate on Hawaii’s Big Island, lending a unique roasted aroma and flavor. A delicate blend of hops rounds out this palate-pleasing brew.

Pours dark brownish/black with tan head that subsides. Creamy and sweet with hints of chocolate, roasted malt, light coffee, and a touch of dark rye bread. Very malty finish. Didn’t detect much hops. Overall a nice beverage but a bit sweet.

On tap at Luckys. Has a dark brown thick frothy light tan head. The aroma is a roasted malt with coffee and chocolate. Good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is similar to the aroma with nice dry finish. A good porter from Kona.

On tap at Koko Marina and in bottles. Poured a deep brown/black with a two finger brown head. Aroma of coffee, and lots of it. Roasted malt notes were present as well. Flavor reflected the aroma, with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Good beer.

Bottle. Pours black with a thick light tan head. Aroma of lots of coffee and roasted nuts. Flavor of bitter coffee grinds, lots of iced tea. Aroma is better than the flavor because I don’t like the taste of iced tea in beer. It’s an ok porter, but could use improvement in the flavor. 7/4/6/3/13 (3.3/5)

Bottle. Starts of strong with a nice roasted coffee aroma. Flavor takes a step back into generic porter, though still features some coffee, maybe a touch of milky chocolate. Not bad.

Very easy drinking... pours black like used motor oil. Roasted malt and coffee aromas right off the bat. Clean and smooth in flavor with similar flavors as the aroma. This could make for a nice session brew because of its easy drinking nature.
