Jun 1, 2006 I like this beer but porters are getting on my nerves, alittle....pours black, with a small ring of lasting head..has some roastiness, but quite tame..its lackluster but a solid starter porter, would also try on tap for sure..

May 24, 2006 Bottle thanks to CaptainCougar! Poured a deep, sorta hazy iced tea brown with a somewhat long-lived cap of beige head. Intricate lacing followed it down. Nose was a tad subdued... with chalky roasted cocoa notes, faint floral, and vanilla. Flavor was of burnt semi-sweet chocolate, vanilla, mild earth, and tart fruits. Lighter-bodied and a bit chalky on the palate. Finish was bitter (coffee and earth) with sweet burnt chocolate. Certainly a respectable porter... thanks, Tom!

May 8, 2006 I was pleasantly surprised by this porter, brewed locally. Poured to a dark brown/black with thick tan head. Immediate aroma of choclate, toffee and caramel malt. Chocolate came thru most in the flavor. Body was medium with no wateriness at all By mid-glass, could also taste a hint of alcohol. A smooth drinking beer with a good, long finish.

May 8, 2006 courtesy of decaturstevo - Pours a deep brown with a fizzy off white head that faded quickly. Light roasted malt aroma. Flavor has that roasted chocolate taste. It has another odd flavor I just can’t peg. Light to medium body. Not bad. Thanks Steve.

May 2, 2006 Bottle courtesy of SpringsLicker. Label marked best by month 4, week 4. Poured a deep dark brown with a tan head that diminished to a ring with time. Aromas of sweet chocolate, hops, and dark fruit. The flavor found chocolate, roast, and a hop mix. Medium body with a hint of bitterness. Pretty good porter, nice to have around. Thanks Jay!

Apr 26, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pours a nice deep dark brown almost black with a decent beige head but fades. Aroma is fruity and nutty with chocolate malts, but has some Diacetyl all the way through which detracts from its overall appeal. Nice toasted malts in the flavor, som chocolate, and a bit of hops in the end. Easy drinking and nice ovarall, but would be better if the diacetyl was toned down or eliminated.

Apr 26, 2006 What the hell is an American Porter? Looks perfect, tan head, black as it should be, aroma is all chocolate, flavor is totally porter, chocolate, a little roasty, with barely sufficient hop bitterness to balance it out. Awesome beer.

Apr 22, 2006 Bottle: Blackened brown, huge pillowy light brown head, splotchy lacing. Burnt malt nose, loads of apple skin, seems also to be a bit tangy. Semi-sweet roasted malts on the tongue, slight pale fruit skin, somewhat airy and sugary. Well rounded, moderate mouthfeel. Long finish, very much like the start, roasted malts, tangy and sweet, with huge hints of fruit skin. Sides with the malts instead of the hops, but it does have a slightly bitter twang after the finish. Enjoyable. Thanks Tom for the bottle!
