| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 4, 2008 From a growler purchased at Julio’s Liquors.
Pours a deep, rich brown with ruby edges. Small tan head. Nice smooth palate, albeit a bit on the thin dry side. Chocolate, malty flavor with some coffee. Nice enjoyable, drinkable porter made more enjoyable by the fact that it was ridiculously cheap. $6.99 a growler at Julio’s. Can’t beat that with a stick.
