Mill Street Coffee Porter

Brewed by Mill St. Brewery
Style: Porter
Toronto, Canada

Bottle courtesy Dan (jah noth). Deep brown body, medium buff-colored head. Roasty, coffee aroma. Rich. Strong coffee body with bitter roasts, the beans leading to some astringency, becoming puckeringly bitter. The coffee is overwhelming, and the body is not thick enough to control the beany bitterness. Drinkable but needs more balance.

Pours a dark cola brown bordering on wanting to be black but not quite. Nose huge on coffee, some nice malt, slight dark chocolate. Flavor is pretty steadily based on coffee, and it does a good job with that. i’ve come across coffee stouts, porters, etc that dont seem to manage that job very well, but this one certainly does. Very well balanced with a nice chocolate kick does this brew well.

dense foamy tan head. dark brown color and lighter brown edges. coffee roasted malt aroma. flavor is lots of coffee, dry roasted malt. still smooth. I’d take this over anything on the menu at St*rbucks. Thanks JimMack!

Shared at Mull man’s Devil’s Nite. I think thanks go to Jimmack. This baby poured dark and fizzy. good head. All the regular coffe and chocolate nose and tastes were there. Loved the nose more then the flavor. A bit light on mouth feel.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color porter with a huge foamy head with great retention. Coffee dominate the aroma but I guess that was to be expected. Taste is mix between lots of coffee, some roasted malt and not much hops. Body is a bit thin for the style. Enjoyable but would have been truly outstanding had there been more malt and a fuller body.

Aroma was a rich,sweet, roasted malt-coffee. Pours black with a lacey head. Surprisingly thin in texture, evaporates off the tounge.. Like drinking a cold espresso at first, but it had a bit of a metalic finish for me.

Pours dark black. You can taste the coffee in this one. Roasted taste. Some chocolate. Tim Horton’s could serve this one!

Pours with an immense three finger thick light brown head that sits atop an opaque deep brown (ok really black) colored beer. The aroma is all coffee or at least dominated by a deep French roast type aroma. With a bit of sweet malt aromatics mixed in the aroma is a bit like Kalua, plus a bit of chocolate, and an astringent burnt grain note. The beer is lightly sweet through to almost the end, but then the roast character takes over and it picks up a burnt acidity roast character that linger throughout the long finish. This beer makes no bones about it’s coffee character, the mix of coffee and roast malt all adds to this character, but it may best be described as a coffee with a bit of cream added because the malt adds a certain creamy character which really comes out with the added malt sweetness. Definitely notes of espresso, chocolate, and an authentic old fashioned Brown Malt (perhaps only slightly blown). What a really tasty Porter, I really like the interplay of sweet malt notes, coffee and dark chocolate; makes this beer quite the quaffer to finish the evening off with, like a nice mocha.
