~Light oily feel, bittercoffee malt finish.
~ Mellow porter. Good sipping brew. Gets better as it warms. leems (147), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 7, 2009 12oz bottle. Dark brown thin head. Coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, caramel both for the aroma and flavor. robertjm (399), El Cerrito, California, USA Jun 4, 2009 Ever so slight foamy top. Mostly right around the glass edge. Dark dark brown with a touch of red in the body. Very pleasing aroma of what I remember a traditional porter to be. Good flavor. Coffe and chocolate malts. Doesn’t follow the trend of other porters to border on the bitterness of the stout spectrum. Average body. Generally a very nice porter!! SamGamgee (1393), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA May 30, 2009 12oz bottle. Dark brown color that is a little on the light side for a porter, with a smallish beige head. The aroma is rich and intriguing with some toffee, roasted malt, cinnamon spice, nutmeg, and toasted grain. The flavor is like creamy chocolate milk with a light roasted edge and mild hops. A little bit on the sweet side and not very bitter at all. Really pleasurable overall with a silky medium body. The only thing that would make throwing more than one of these back easier would be a drier finish. pantani (1894), Salinas, California, USA May 10, 2009 Dark brown. Aroma is chocolate, roasty, light smoke, caramel. Taste is lightly nutty, roasty, caramel, coffee, chocolate. IrishBoy (2685), Bakersfield, California, USA May 10, 2009 12 oz bottle from iowaherkeye! Nose of chocolate covered nuts with a cup of roasty coffee. Clear dark cherry brown with a small beige head. Flavor is coffee with light bitterness and a hint of smoke combined with a light white peppery finish. Taverner (819), San Ramon, California, USA May 7, 2009 Aroma is nutty and roasty. Flavor is full bodied, but rounds out. A nice full bodied Porter. Finishes clean like a porter should. Nose is full of roasty, malty notes.
