On tap at Piece. Great Porter! Arrived looking all dark and mysterious with a thin foamy ring of mocha colored foam. A smooth roasty nose. Greets the tongue with chocolate and smoke, a slightly tart middle rides on the back of the malt overtones, and a subtle licorice flavor at the end. Very solid mouthfeel for a porter - almost like a stout. A good amount of carbonation and a very pleasant finish. Really solid porter. (And great pizza too! Piece is a must see in Chicago!)

Another fantastic beer on tap at Piece. Pour is black with a filmy tan head. Smell is rich dark malt, smoky coffee, and dry chocolate. Taste is rich, roasty, smoky and robust flavorwise. Prickly carbonation with a medium body and this one comes highly recommended.

Out of a take home growler. Dark black pour, tan colored head that dissipates slowly. Medium body & flavor of roasted malts & chocolate. A little lighter than the Flat Iron Stout but equally delicious!

Lots of coffee is this really balanced porter. Nice and chocolaty with a nice lingering roasty flavor.
