Really good on Nitro Tap. This beer is soo smooth with choco, coffee, malty flavors. Very dark brown looks like dark melted chocolate, awesome beer!!!

BOTTLE: very dark brown pour, minor head & lacing. Rich roasty nose, roasted coffee taste, semi-creamy yet a little thin, with some bitterness. Very good beer.

12oz bottle andon tap (nitro). Pours a deep caramel brown with a lasting one finger head. Heavy roasted malt aroma with coffee, chocolate, and light smokiness. Like the arome the taste is big on roasted malt and the slight coffee and chocolate come through in the finish. Very smooth with a light creaminess.

Bottle - Very dark brown with red tinges and a tan head. Chocolate, roasted malt and coffee in the aroma. Chocolatey taste with hints of coffee and an element of dried fruit in the finish.

Bottle. Dark brown with a beige head. Aromas are coffee and peat with weetabix. Some chocolate. Flavours are sweet coffee with caramel and chocolate. Earthy with yeast and an oily palate. OK.

Dark black with brown edges and a smell like coffee, very nice. The head was a like a creamy blanket lying on top of the beer. I was told that along with Easy Street Wheat, this is Odell’s only unfiltered beer. The taste was roasty and also a little smoky like grilled meat. Mouthfeel was very creamy due to the nitro and it was appreciated but I wonder what the beer was like naturally and why the need for nitro? I liked this beer mostly except for the smokiness. I am also not sure if I like “nitro”, what is the point, can’t they just cask it? The cask IPA I had at Odell’s was so creamy I can’t imagine a better mouthfeel.

Bottle. Blackish beer with a light’ish head. The aroma is mildly roasted, and the flavour is relatively roasted with a bitter and malty finish. Overall a reasonable porter.
