Bottle. Pours almost black with light tan head. Coffee, chocolate, and roasted malts. Astringent aftertaste and a little bit thin. Good porter, but nothing to write home about.

With a porter in my glass life is good. Nice looking beer with a very dark body and a lively 2 finger tan head. Aroma is lots of roasted malt, a hint of hop, and some root beer. Nice! Flavor is full of roasted malt and coffee. Hops add just a small bitter bite in the background. This is a very smooth beer in the mouth. Delicious.

Draught. Light, roasty malt aromas. Smoke and caramel. Dark amber, near black with a thin head. Roasty open, smoke and coffee tapers off into not much else. Thin and boring. Reflective of the less exciting examples of the style.

Draught: Chocolate Malt Aroma some Toffee and brown sugar. Pours dark brown to black little to no head. Bold chocolate flavor fallowed by sweet malts and a bitter smoke finish. A little thin but nice smooth palate. Could be less watery.

This was a pretty solid beer. Roasted malts in the aroma. Chocolately sweet taste, but missing a nice presence of hops. I’ll surely be drinking more of these.

This is basically your typical porter with a bit more spiciness due to the hops. I liked it a lot. A pleasant surprise.

This beer poured with a deep, dark color and hearty head. Great lacing throughout the entire drink. Great malty smell and full mouth feel. I am suprised to see medium bodied in the description as I found it to be fairly full bodied. A great drink that I would highly suggest.
