Pisgah Porter

Draft at Mellow Mushroom in Asheville. Pours opaque dark brown with short creamy tan head. Roast coffee aroma, with roasty, coffee, light chocolaty, toasty flavor. Solid porter, and relatively light in body and mouthfeel compared to others.

Trying to get these Asheville ratings done before too long... draft at the Mellow Mushroom on 6/27. Tasty porter, actually liked this better than the stout, which I had later. Worth a try.

Draft @ the brewery. Pours translucent dark brown with a small creamy head. A mild, drinkable porter. Chocolate, roast and caramel malt forward, some coffee notes. A slightly bitter finish with some astringency/bitterness from the roast grains. Light bodied.

Draft at mellow mushroom. Dark brown pour frothy tan head and spotty lace. Roast and light chocolate on the nose. Coffee, chocolate and roast flavor

(Sample Date: 12/9/2008 Source:Other) From a very old growler. Roast and chocolate malt aroma. A touch vegetal. Very dark amber brown. Flavor is slightly grainy roasty with chocolate coming through in the finish. Very light floral hop note. Light body and mouthfeel. Probably much better out of a fresh growler.

Growler courtesy of Butters on 12/09/2008. Clear dark brown body with a small creamy light brown head. Big roast and chocolate aroma with some toasty notes. More roast malt flavor, some chocolate, light coffee and a bit more toast with a dry bitter finish. Medium body with moderately low carbonation.

Growler grocery store in asheville. Dark brown pour. Dark chocolate roasty aroma. Slightly vegetal flavor. Dry finish. Not bad, but reminded me of a homebrew. No telling how old it was.

Growler. Strong roast coffee/toasted malt aroma. Dark brown body with a wispy tan head. Coffee/bitter roast malt with some high cocoa dark chocolate notes on the first sip. A little thin, but quite nice on the whole. Roasty bitter and satisfying finish.
