Commercial Description:
Gorilla Warfare Porter is a silky smooth porter made with 40 lbs of Park Slope’s Gorilla Coffee Ethiopian Yergacheffe blend, a Fair Trade and Organic Certified coffee roasted in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The coffee has winey, spicy notes with hints of baker’s chocolate. Combined with patent malt, the signature of many great English-style porters, this is one silky smooth, coffee-rich porter.

(Draught) Pours a dark brown body with a medium-sized creamy tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, and chocolate. Flavor of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, nuts, and coffee.

Appearance: Pours a dark brown, near black body resting under a half inch of beige foam. Smell: Roasty nose smelling of cold coffee and black malts. Notes of unsweetened chocolate and caramel. Taste: A fusion of coffee and chocolate on the first sip. A touch grainy, a touch coffee grindy. Mild sweetness. An earthy, roasty bitterness is close behind and remains until the finish. A second dose of chocolate arises at the very end. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation. Fairly creamy. Drinkability: A rather tasty coffee-dosed porter. My hat is STILL off to Sixpoint!

draft @ sunset grill - dark brown with thick tan head; nice roasty, nutty and coffee aromas; body is on the thin side, but this was a pretty tasty porter; coffee slightly muted in the flavors; gentle, soft texture; a little bitter in the finish; good stuff

Pours a brownish/black – with a small tan/caramel head. Strong smells of strong dark roasted coffee. First sip is pure coffee – strong and bitter. Slight hint of bittersweet chocolate. Finishes bitter and very well carbonated. A coffee lovers beer.

Growler. Pours black with a very small rapidly disappearing tan head. Aroma of smoke, roasted malt, smoked meats, chocolate, coffee. Flavor of lots of coffee, sweet roasted malt, roasted nuts. This is quite tasty! Smooth silky palate. Not too sweet. This is good stuff!! Get your hands on it if you can!
