Commercial Description:
Porter is our darkest beer, but not necessarily our strongest. It is widely held that the darker the beer the stronger the beer, but this is summarily false. The contribution of color comes directly from the color of malt that we use. Some malt is roasted to achieve dark color and coffee-like flavor, which in turn get transferred to the beer. Our Porter is richly complex with overtones of chocolate and espresso beans followed by a subtle flavor of hops. It’s a nourishing beer without being too sweet or filling.

Quite dark brown; very little tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roast, caramel, and light vanilla. Flavor predominantly chocolate, coffee, and roast; moderately bitter, hoppy, roasty finish. Medium-thick and frothy; mildly sticky. This is a solid, if forgettable, above-average porter.

[1266-20080407] 12floz bottle. Boozy grains aroma with roasted earth notes. Dark brown black body with a medium-lasting foamy light tan head. Bitter candy cane coffee flavour has roasted malt throughout. Full body. Really interesting flavour, a solid porter.

12 oz. bottle - purchased from Oliver’s in Albany; tan colored head and creamy dark brown; roasty and nutty aromas; mildly creamy texture and quite rich; very sweet, but a little light on flavor; great texture though and drinks silky smooth

Near black pour with ruby highlights. Lots of chocolate and coffee on the nose. Chocolate taste is complimented by expresso bitterness. Very drinkable.

Bottle: Deep brown pour with a smaller beige head. Smells of roasted malt, coffee, and some light bittersweet notes. Flavor is more roasty, tobacco, smoke, and some bittersweet coffee grounds. Thanks BuckeyeBoy.
