Bottle, courtesy of Oakes. Gorgeous looking beer, opaque with tan head and leaves lacing. Well-balanced, firmly structured bouquet blends bread crust and dried fruit. Explosion of roasted malt, long lasting with a thread of sweetness running through it for balance. Soft mouthfeel. Lovely beer.

bottle from mecchi77 thanks jason: pours a black with a nice creamy esspresso foam head. aroma is a great chocolate, fresh coffee, some roast, very chocolate. fk\lavour is very smooth again with great chcolate flavour, good roast adn some nice coffee. a great porter all the way around.

Pours a very very dark brown with a tall and full bodied light brown head. Very nice sweet, roasted chocolate aroma. Light coffee and background brown sugar. Almost honey like initial malty sweetness. Body is very full and creamy. The finish has a great lingering coffee with a hint of molasses. Very good porter, not too heavy, but very complete.

Pours black with a thin tan head. Nice roasted malt and coffee aroma. Good roasted malt and bitter chocolate flavors. A hint of fruit in there too. Body thickens up nicely as it warms. Good porter.

I thought this beer was quite good; it was the name says, a quite robust porter. Lots of very dry roastiness with some bitterness and some nice accompanying flavors. Very good. It pours black with a tall root beer-like head which was tan in color and demonstrated some durability. Aroma was lots of dry roastiness with some measure of toffee, coffee, and chocolate smells. The first flavor that hits you is a big amount of bitterness brought on by just how much dry roastiness there is in the flavor which is accompanied by some chalky mouthfeel, followed with a sweeter and smoother finish. About half-way down the glass, the mouthfeel seem smoother and slicker as well. I thought this beer was quite good, and i would recommend it as a very fine (dry) porter. I bought this bottle at Woodman’s in Oak Creek.

Pours a blackish red with a thin tan head. Malty aroma with lots of coffee and roasted grain. The coffee flavor overpowers the taste, but some malt manages to peak through to give it some balance. Finishes dry roasty and clean.

Very good offering from Smuttynose here... Nice, dark, and full of roasted malt and chocolate flavors, I found this to be a really good porter and one I could drink quite easily again.

(USA) Black color with a thin tan head. The aroma is of dry fruit / coffee with a smoky chocolate taste. Well blended brew with a dry bitter finish !!! pretty good porter, And i think the name is very funny too !!
