Growler @ Ken’s Walloping Wednesday - Clear brown, thin white fizzy head. Subdued nose of musty molasses, milk chocolate, roasted coffee, and touches of vanilla cream. Soft roasty flavors of all the above that’s well rounded with a lightly hopped ending. Light bodied, medium carbonation, dry finish. Decent for a session porter. Thanks for sharing Schutzenliesel.

pours a dark ebony with relative head, nice solid aroma that ties to the taste, relatively light on the palate, a good sessionable porter, and anything organic is good for you so drink up...

On draft @ Bier Garden in Asheville. Poured a very dark chestnut brown with a soapy white head. Mild nutty aroma with some vague chocolately tones underneath. Light-bodied. Taste starts with a nutty malt flavor and gives way to a little cocoa at the end. Lacks depth overall, but certainly drinkable.

On tap at the bier garden in asheville. Overwhelming and one dimensional aromas and tastes of roasted malts. Lots of coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Smooth otherwise but lacking the complexity I like in some other versions of this style.

Pours a melted brown crayon color with a voluminous head of beige. Laces nicely. Aromas of roasty maltiness with some green leafy hoppiness. A touch earthy and dare I say smoky. Simple and smooth going down. Aftertaste kicks in with more raw green hops.

Draught. Pours dark mahogany with thin khaki head. The aroma is bread and caramel with a hint of sweet chocolate. The flavor is nuts and a little bit of chocolate with a roasty coffee note floating in there. Clean, crackery finish.
