Style: Porter
Chico, California USA

Draft at Thorups Kælder. Average size, tan head with good lacing.Clear black body. Malt aroma of coffee, burnt/roasted malt. Light hop aroma. Medium body and a creamy texture. Well balanced flavor. A good porter.

Poured from 12oz bottle a dark brown/black with large tan head. Aromas of roast malt, grain, molasses, coco powder and some dark fruit. The flavor has roasted malt, smoke, coffee, caramel and bittersweet chocolate. The palate is nicely balanced between dry and semi-sweet with a soft smooth bittering throughout the mouth. A very nice sipping beer.

Dark brown with tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with notes of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and coffee. Sweet flavor with hints of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate notes.

A well-defined porter. Has a mild smoky aroma, very mild, also has a nice creamy taste. Pours very well with a clear defined head. Great brew!

12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown to black with a lacing off-white head. Roasted malt, chocolate and hops in an almost perfect blend. Flavour is smooth roasted malt with a mild hops note. Finish is lingering roasted malt, chocolate and mild hoppy with a light bitterness. Very easy to drink and with a nice composition.

Much lighter in body and flavor than usual dark beers, but nothing wrong with that.

Bottle. One of the best American Porters out there.Not overly sweet yet has a nice chocolate flavor. Loved this beer. Highly recommended.
