I like the packaging, but no surprise it’s not a south’ren beer. Aroma of caramel and some stale hoppiness. Flavor is light and sour, with little hoppiness and some mildly roasted caramel malts. Finishes sour and bitter. Meh.

Aug 13, 2008 Porters aren’t my thing but this was nice in that the coffee flavour was toned down for more sweet flavours. Addin the lighter beer definitely helps the porter go down smoother. Give me a Beamish any day over this.

Aug 4, 2008 My wife picked up a large jug of this while on a business trip to St. Louis....while black and tans are not my usual choice, I found that I really enjoyed this one.......the beer poured a dark brown, similar to a newcastle brown ale.....this beer tasted surpisingly light and satisfying....the sweet chocolate/caramel notes accompanied the roasted malts beautifully....not one I could drink a lot of, but a nice beer to have for a change.

Aug 3, 2008 Dark brown with small head. Nose and flavor of roasty malts, molasses, and chocolate. Watery for a porter.

Aug 3, 2008 Smells like a wet dog - Light, effervescent body, sweet toasted malt with some honey, butterscotch and toffee - - - kind of grainy and chewy. Light banana notes as well. Thin but with a moderate cara-pils, sarsaparilla mouthfeel. Better than expected and quite a value for the price.
