(many thanks to footbalm for this brew off of my want list.)black with dark brown highlights.nice aroma of coffee,chocolate,roasted malts,with a slight hop finish.flavor is much of the same with a slight lactic finish.very nice porter indeed!

I got this in a trade with Flexabull, thanks! Interesting label as well as bottle cap. This was a very solid porter. Black, creamy head, and tasty flavors of roast, a little smoke, some coffee grounds. It was easy to drink but the flavor was actually strong enough that I wouldn’t want more than one in a sitting.

Dark brown with big tan head. Nose of burnt malts and rich hops. Mouthfeel is rich . Taste adds in some fruits. Excellent porter.

12oz bottle. Served at 62° in a duvel tulip. No date, I have only had for a month or two and it has spent a lot of time in the beerfridge. The aroma is hitting me alrady and the glass is a foot away on my desk! When I stick my nose into the glass I get HUGE roast and a backing of spicy hops? and tart cherries? There is also a bit of cofee and dark chocolate in the mix. The intial mouthfeel is large. The taste is roasty, spicy, tart, with some burnt notes and alcohol. The finish is long and bitter from the roast and hops. Very enjoyable. Thanks to KenB for this.

12 oz bottle, via Dubbercody. Pours a very dark brown, clear, under a foamy tight bubbled dark brown head with decent retention. Heavy chocolate malt aroma, almost fudgecake like, with a lighter roasted note. Some coffee and light yeast notes as well. The flavor has quite a bit of roast for a Porter, but the chocolate malt is there in force as well. A nice balancing bitterness ties it all together. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with very fine prickly carbonation. This was a really great surprise, a full flavored well rounded Porter. Worth seeking out.

From a 12oz bottle purchased at Belmont Station--Poured an abysmal black body with a tiny wispy gray-brown head. Nutty, coffee nose with lots of robust maltiness. Well-carbonated mouth feel. Lots of coffee in flavor and in finish. This is a well-built beer. Yum!

Bottle Pours out a black with a little red topped with a nice tan head. Aroma of malt and a touch of green olive. Tast roast malt and some nice bitter coffee. A solid porter

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.
