I’m very impressed with this porter, very rich and roasty with a good body and nice coffee finish. Pours black with a nice tan head. Very roasty throughout finishing with a very bitter coffee bite. Very smooth and has more weight on the palate than many porters making feel nice and full.

12-oz. Cute little name, label, bottle caps, etc. Black with ultra light gray rim. Huge sour coffee nose. Creamy, oily body. Nice soft woolly fizzy carb. Coffee, chocolate, and roast on the mid-palate, though the coffee is hugely reduced from the nose, much more balanced and harmonious with the other notes. Mild chocolatey finish.

This one pours deep and dark, almost stout like. An interesting balance of sweetness and saltiness. This has this great chocolate sweetness and then a sweet and salty mixture of dark brown nuttiness. Rich and creamy with some mellow roastiness in the finish.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of bitter and burnt coffee, chocolate, sugar, roasting, slight toffee, and some charcoal. Poured dark brown in color with a small, dense, tan head that diminished but lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly bitter and slightly sweet. Tastes of roasted malts, bitter coffee, chocolate, slight tar, light piney hops, slight vanilla, and a hint of toffee. Medium body. Chalky, lightly dry, lightly sticky texture. Roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate finish is a little bitter and dry.
