| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 5, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle this Porter pours a clear, dark brown, near black body with an tan head. Aroma has a roasty nose smelling of coffee and notes of unsweetened chocolate earthy hops and malt. Taste is mostly roasty and bitter, caramel malts, chocolate malts, and nuts. Very little sweetness which rapidly fades, leaving the roast, earthy bitterness with a dry, roasty finish. Medium-bodied mouthfeel and carbonation. Just a bit on the thin and basic side for a great porter in my opinion - so I would have to rank this one as average.

Pours a medium dark beige head, with attractive and extensive lacing, over a clear light brown (SRM 25) body.....nose is light coffee, bit of chocolate, light grass......taste is sweet malt (toffee, caramel), then light bitterness.....mouth feel is medium, carbonation makes a creamy sensation.
