Commercial Description:
Summit Porter is very dark, but lighter-bodied than you’d expect, with a robust, malty character and a delightfully sweet finish.

Sample from tap at the brewery. Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is coffee and roasted malt. Flavour is soft malty, roasted, and coffee which goes into the finish with a lovely bitterness.

12oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of burnt malts, lightly smokey, and some chocolate. Thinner tastes of chocolate, roasted malts, and some light citric / hoppiness. Thinner body.

Very dark, crystal clear, ruby ale with a fizzy, tan head. The aroma is malty, chocolatey and roasted. Notes of coffee, hazelnut, milk chocolate and vanilla. The well-balanced flavor mirrors the nose. Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, roasted finish. Nice porter!

Semi-sweet with a very assertive hop aroma and flavor. Good color, but not much head. Could be a touch sweeter and thicker.

Deep black with a medium brown fizzy head that dies quickly. Smoky blck licorice sharp aroma, like oil, some hoppy pine and some mint. Pinecones come to mind. Thick and syrupy and a good smooth body. Black and smoky, with small hints of sweet fruit, the finish is an abrasive smoky oil flavor. Impressive. Some cherry evident in the long-lasting finish.
