jcwattsrugger (3942), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Sep 3, 2008 on tap-pours a light brown head and black with red color. Aroma is dark malt-coffee/roasty. Taste is sweet dark malt-coffee/roasty/some caramel. Some hops bitterness. Mild carbonation. Hudspart (317), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA Aug 25, 2008 Bottle: Very thin for a porter. Looks and tastes more like a light brown ale. Ok beer. hombrepalo (465), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 8, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Poured a dark almost black color, big brown bubbly head, lasted quite a bit. Nose is Rosty grains with malts, and carmel hints. Taste is too carbonated, a bit too much to enjoy, had to let it sit a while to fully enjoy the roasted malts, chocolate, honey, coffee flavors. Just an alright porter. badnewsbeers (982), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Jul 14, 2008 maybe their best beer which doesnt say much..this brewery is pathetic and should be destroyed immediately..homebrew at best..pours brown aroma has notes of chocolate toast, floral hops, and coffee. flavor is of chocolate, nuts, and honey. thin, and overall a bit lame Silphium (2017), Lansing, Michigan, USA Jun 20, 2008 Deep mostly opaque brown body with reddish highlights at the edges, thin buff head. Aroma of molasses, roasted malts, and chocolate, reminiscent of cocoa puffs, with very light honey. Light, bitter cocoa puffs body with roasted malts, watery, paired with subtle thin, sweet honey tones. Weak, watery finish. Motor City Brewing Works is currently putting out the worst bottled craft beer produced in the state. It’s great to see local beer in bottles, but these aren’t going to cut it against tough competition in local beer stores.
