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.

Dark fruity malt aroma with a little coffe. Very dark brown color with a small tan head. Bitter beginning that fades slowly in the finish. Creamy thick palate.

Poured dark dark brown/ruby with a pretty thick 2 finger head. Nice aroma of coffee and malts. Taste was flat, a little vinegar, coffee, and not a very pleasing palate.

Draft: Quickly descending tan head over a black body. Really mild aroma... hard to tell its even there when the beer is cold. However, the taste makes up for it, with a milky, but still bitter chocolate taste. Really smooth coffee taste, not like the hardcore espresso of many other porters and stouts. Moderate amount of carbonation, but that doesn’t really hurt the beer it just adds an unexpected mouthfeel. Really light, almost watery, but not really.

Draft: Charred barley nose. Clear, dark brown, thick tan head, good lacing. Chocolate flavor starts sweet and takes on a more bitter coffee character in the end. A bit watery, but a tasty porter, in its own right.

Draught at Pony Bar, New York
Black color. Light coffee aroma. Dry mouthfeel, weak body, average coffee flavor and light dark chocolate. Ordinary bitterness. Dry Stout, not impressive.

In bottle; good beer. Didn’t enjoy the first sip as it was different than I was expecting but after that, really enjoyed it. Full coffee taste for sure, if you don’t enjoy coffee, probably won’t like this one

I didn’t like the other beers by Kona all that much. This beer I thought had a great flavor profile with good coffee notes. It was very smooth and lightly carbonated.

Dark pour with a light tan head,expected something a little darker from this one. Aroma of roasty, nutty, and coffee. Flavor suprisingly smooth for a coffee beer,light hop bitterness, but almost no dark chocolate coffee bitter finish. Good beer, easy drinking and overall sessionable. Just a little hard to get in Colorado.
