Bouteille de 12 oz. Arômes de grains rôtis et torréfiés. Robe brune foncée, peu de mousse et effervescence à grosse bulles. Assez mince en bouche, les grains rôtis et des notes de café et de chocolat sont bien équilibrées. Finale légèrement amère de torréfaction et de houblon. La définition même d’une porter.

Pours dark brown with nice foamy tan head. Roasted, nutty and coffee nose. Flavor is much like the nose with hints of chocolate. Nice body with a good bit of hoppy bite on the finish.

A very good porter that pours a dark brown almost black with a nicely lacing khaki head. The beer is smooth and malty with chocolaty coffee notes.

Mmm yummy. Has a nice dark brown, almost black color. Smells of sweet malts with hints of coffee with a nutty undertone. Not too carbonated. Has a smooth roasted toffee malt flavor with a hint of chocolate. A pleasant experience. One of the better porters I’ve had in a while.

Pours black with rosy tan head. Aroma is some yeast and roasted malt. Taste is chocolate, light coffee, hint of smoke. Nice moderate citrus hop finish. This was pretty good and better than expected.

Taste is cola, coffee, chocolate, and some smoke. Aroma is mostly chocolate. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Dark brown color. Very drinkable. Good beer.

I always find porters enjoyable for some reason, and this is no different. A very standard Porter (imho), a little earthy, some chocolate, nice roasted taste. Very enjoyable.

12oz bottle. Pours a very dark brown body with a finger-width, foamy, khaki brown head that dissipates quickly and leaves a lot of nice lacing. Aroma is dry and earthy porter. Mostly chocolate and coffee while maintaining a light malty sweetness. Not as roasty as I was expecting, but still has some. Light citrus hops are in there as well. Flavor is very delicate, but well balanced. Solid amount of roasts throughout as well as a mellow chocolate and light citrus hoppiness. A real subtle sweetness because its not heavily malted at all. Palate is light, but smooth. Finishes dry, earthy, and soft with a moderate sweet/roast aftertaste. Overall, a very solid porter, just not as rich and bold as some of the other noteable ones out there. Despite that, good flavor, balance, and easy drinking body.
