12oz bottle, no date. Clear deep brown ruby with very small beige head, fading to a thin ring. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate, and a bit of cola. The flavor adds some grainy roasted malts, but thankfully no burnt character that pisses me off all too often. Semi-dry with a roasty, mildly bitter (2-3 out of 10) finish. Thin body with almost no carbonation at all. I’m going to try another bottle and make sure I didn’t have a faulty bottle, as I was kinda excited to try this one. Rerate--still a little thin bodied, but carbonation is better--also some light pine hops. It gets 3 extra points now.

Dark ruby brown with a scant off-white head. Aroma of licorice and hops. Creamy mouthfeel, full body. Licorice, roasty and bitter with a little malty sweetness for balance. An exemplary porter.

Pours dark brown, almost black, with minimal brown head that fades. Aroma is sweet/malty and some raisins. Taste is dark roast coffee, chocolate, caramel, nutty, and some hops bitterness in the finish. Coffee and hops bitterness linger for awhile. Texture is a bit watery and fizzy, but overall a pretty good porter.

Bottle. Dark brown with a fleeting head. Nice nutty, chocolate malt aromas. Medium body. Decent nutty roasty flavors comes across a bit thin. Nice bittersweet cocoa flavor to finish.

12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a moderate off-white head, some lace. Smells slightly of roasted and sweet malts. Tastes sweet and ripe, red fruit malty. A little weird tasting. Sweet, slightly roasty, slightly sour. Medium body, good carbonation.
