Bottle. Dark brown pour with a frothy, two finger wide tan head. Bitter, roasty aroma with some hints of cocoa. Roasted malt flavor with some dark chocolate and coffee in the finish. Watery texture with lively carbonation. A little thin but very smooth and easy drinking.

Bottle->English pint: Pours a huge, rocky brown head that exhibits spare lacing atop a dark brown body. Aroma of coffee, citrus, and leather. Medium body, alcoholic texture, and soft carbonation. Flavor’s duration is average, being moderately sweet and bitter. Yay Sierra Nevada!

Lasting light tan head on a dark brown body. Chocolatey mainly in the taste and fairly smooth, was expecting it a bit more robust but still liked it.

for me this is what a porter should be, awsome mouthfeel, a flavour that just rolls around in your mouth filling every space, so delicious!

Aroma of malt hops and coffee, flavor slightly sweet and bitter, some caramel and coffee, a little mocha. Thick on the finish, but not too bad.

12-oz bottle. Toasty aroma with some hints of prune and bread. Dark brown color with reddish cast. Stiff brown head with legs. Bitter and mildly sweet at first. Bitterness mellows and then deepens on the finish. Pretty clean however. Medium to light body with some astringence on the front. High drinkability. But an average porter.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is a dark black with almost no light being let through. There is about two fingers of foamy light brown head with some nice lacing left on the glass. The smell is a slight bit roasty with some malty flavor amid some slight nut flavor. The taste is some what coffee in flavor, some nice roasted malt and toffee flavor. The feel of this beer is pretty light for a porter but is still medium bodied.
