Brewed by McNeills Brewery
Style: Porter
Brattleboro, Vermont USA

pint at the brewery. very dark brown in color, almost black. Aroma is of dry chocolate, caramel, light roasty notes and a slight chalkiness. Taste is chocolate, lightly roasty, caramelized malts, lightly chalky, with a moderate bitter finish for the style.

Pours hazy deep blackish with minimal tan head. Aroma of pumpernickly bread, roasty malt, chocoff, some almonds. Tastes rich, roasty malty, with chocoff, nuts, and more pumperkickly bready malt.

22oz bottle via trade with 46er3498 - Thanks Tom - Pours dark brown with a short tan head that stayed well and laced some. Nice aroma of coffee, roasted malts, and some nice pine hops. Flavor is good roasted malts, coffee, a little cocoa, and some smoke and at the finish some brief pine hops. Medium body with some carbonation and a soft smooth mouthfeel. Very nice porter

One of the finest tasting porters one can sample. Smooth silky and dark and tasty, similar to Halley Barry.

This is a nice porter. Huge malted coffee nose that you can smell across the room. Taste is more mellow and is balanced as well. Fantastic example of a true porter, not overhopped and not full of chocolate.

Pours a dark chocolate brown that leaves a thick tan head that stays with this brew. The aroma is so pleasant caramel, brown sugar, fresh cut grass over tones, followed by a herbal spiced hop presence. The taste starts bitter, a very aggresive bite that is quickly subdued by a sweetness of vanilla, oak, and caramel sugar. The finish is strong coffee and bittersweet cocoa, this is a lovely porter...thanks to BA LeeMarvin for bring this sample back from VT for me!

Bottle: Nearly black, large foamy beige head, spotty lacing.   Sour lactic nose, roasty, slight coffee bean.   Seems like London style.   Dry and chalky on the tongue.   Also fairly roasty, with a bit of earthiness to it as well.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Dry roasted finish, fairly bitter too.   T’was good.   Thanks Tom for the bottle!
