Commercial Description:
This is a classic American Porter, poured on tap it has a good head that stays and leaves a nice lace. It is defined by its chocolate malt, medium body, and smooth mouthfeel. Balanced by the Golding and Columbus hops on the finish is a hint of bitterness. Don’t be afraid of the dark.

Muddy coloured; cappucino aroma - frothy milk, light roast, even vague chocolate. Palate fades quickly but shows a little bit of bitter chocolate.

12oz bottle acquired in trade. Bottle marked best before Month 11, week 5 (a few months past the date). Poured a dark, dark brown with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malts, and light coffee. Tastes of chocolate and roasted malts. Not overly complex but quite drinkable. Thinner body.

Bottle... Deep, dark, mahogany ale with a small, creamy, beige head. Good retention. Notes of cola and chocolate in the nose. Chocolaty, sweet flavor balanced by burnt malt tannins and hop bitterness. Lightly oxidized and pungent. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Chocolaty, dry finish. Kudos to jimbowood for sending the bottle!

Pours with an immense amount of foam. Soft roasted malt and some hops in the aroma. Malty body has some syrupy properties and a lot of hops. Roasted finish shows up about five seconds after. Decent porter, but unbalanced and sort of bland.
