Style: Porter

on tap at Green Dragon. pours a rich black color with a big head. filled with lots of rich coffee aromas and hints of spice. flavor is a tad on the sweet side, with lots of coffee and chocolate notes. thought this was quite a good brew.

Had this on nitro at the pub. Aroma of a great cup of iced coffee. small tan head, but nice carbonation from the nitro. darkest brown & opaque. coffee flavor, mocha, just enoug hops to balance the sweet to a neural, but no hop flavor. maybe i enjoyed this more as I’m not a big porter fan, but I was impressed.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 13/10/2007 Strong coffee roast aroma. Small beige head. Black smooth on the palate and a little bitter with a full coffee roast finish.

At Hops in Humboldt Micro-Brew Festival in 4 oz glass. Looks like French Roast. For that matter smells like French Roast. Shucks, tastes like French Roast. If you like your Porter to take lile coffee this is the one. I like Porter as just that so I have to rate this as coffee royale. Good though.

GABF sample bottle. Black colored stout with a large light tan head. Very nice aroma, which gives hints of espresso beans, cream, dark roast and dark chocolate. Flavor is boldly dominated by coffee and espresso and it’s suave and fairly complex, with a nice base of malt. Nice finish and overall, quite tasty.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a deep brown color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty coffee aroma with some hints of chocolate. Roasted malty coffee flavor. Has a roasted malty coffee finish with some hints of chocolate.

Tap at Belmont Station... Poured black with amber highlights and a thin head. Aroma of sweet coffee liquor and roasted grains. Acidic palate with coffee flavors and roasted malt all ended with a dry finish.

GABF sample bottle. Poured a deep brown color with some dark red highlights around the edges and a thin beige head that faded to a ring. Aroma of coffee grounds, expresso, some dark chocolate, and roasted malts. Smooth, somewhat thing entry with some dark chocolate leads into a nice roasted coffee flavor with some expresso and a touch of vanilla bean. Finishes moderately sweet with some coffee undertones. Low carbonation, smooth but a bit thin on the palate. Overall, a nice surprise.
