Bottle: Very thin for a porter. Looks and tastes more like a light brown ale. Ok beer.

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.

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.
