Commercial Description:
A wonderfully complex, deep ruby red-black Ale. Dark chocolate, coffee-like flavors are complimented by plenty of hop character with a hint of smokiness in the aftertaste. Robust, yet very drinkable.

Thanks Sully! Poured a dark brown, small head that was quick to fade. I have a bit of a cold, nose seams to be roasted coffee malts. Very nice mouth feel. Good raosted coffee and very dry. This is a very nice porter. This finish is dry, did I mention dryness here?

12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a filmy off white head. leaves nice lacing. Aroma of coffe and chocolate, lots of roasted malts. Flavor is dry chocolate, very sticky, som eligh tcofffe notes and more of the roasted malt. Leaves me wanting a sip of water, very dry and sticky, palate is a medium thickness and a light smoke comes through in the nose as it warms.

12oz bottle via trade with SuIIy! - Thanks Mike! - Poured black with a nice creamy tan head that stays a while and laces the sides of the english pint - Aroma is coffee and roasted malts and just a touch of dark chocolate. Flavor is semi-sweet chocolate and roasted malts. Also many notes of coffee. A fair hop finish. Palate is medium bodied and about right for a porter. Very drinkable and definitely worth a try..

Roasted nut aroma. Black body with tan head and some lacing. Decent roasted coffee flavor with some mild hop bitterness. Left a roasted flavor on the palate.

Good head and really deep color. Some lacing to it. Kind of an earthy chocolate undertone to the sweetness, with a nice touch of bitterness to it. Not one of my favorites, but still a good brew and I expect to drink a lot more of it.

I do like porters, and this one is no exception, though it’s not exceptional either. much like the lable, it’s a bit generic. however, nursing a few next to a campfire on the shores of lake michigan is not a bad time at all.
