Style: Porter
Lake Mills, Wisconsin USA

Thanks Monger. 12oz btl. An almost black pour with a guey tan lacing. An aroma of coffe dominates chocolate is secondary. A flavor of espresso. A very good bitter on the finish. Palate is just a tad thin and slightly over carbonated for me especially in a porter. A good beer with just slight flaws that keep it from being excellent.

Many thanks to Sneagrams3 for the trade for this porter. Pours dark brown with a crimson hue and rocky dark tan head. The aroma has roasted malt, dark chocolate and soda effervesence - clean aroma. Medium body that is fairly smooth with the prickly carbonation doesn’t interfer. Starts with creamy bitter roasted malt with some char. The flavor is more bold than most porters. The finish has a lingering bitter char, some cream and a light hop bite. A nicely done porter.

(Bottle via trade with <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-38026.htm target=blank>buckybeer, thanks Mark!) A good standard porter...Pours dark birch beer brown with three fingers of khaki head that becomes somewhat rocky as it recedes. Nose is milk chocolate and touch of roastiness. Mouthfeel smooth, pretty full. Flavor is like a chocolate milkshake with a touch of bitterness. Some mild roasted coffee. Taste becomes slightly chocolate syrup-like in finish. Seems like a good example of the style.

Bottle Thanks to Buckybeer. Black body with a nice thin head that stayed. Flavor is sweet with flavors of coffee, chocolate. Malty and smooth. Good porter.

Pours deep deep dark crimson with a tan head. Not a lot of aroma but some roasted malt and chocolate. Taste of chocolate, coffee and sweet malts almost candy sweet hit the back of the pallete. but it is a bit watery and light on the pallete. Even for this being considered a session beer, its a bit weak.

Pours black with a decent tan head. Nice chocolate aroma, some roastiness comes through. Decent flavor, a nice touch of sweetness at the end.

Thanks to buckybeer for the bottle. Brown/black with a large plus head. Head get rocky as it slowly dissipates, leaving a small amount of lacing. Aroma is roasted chocolate malt and bitter coffee. Medium body, and a bit of creaminess in the texture. A moderately sweet flavor. Clean finish.

Pours a deep dark brown, almost black, thin tan head and a nice lace. Really nice roasty lots of chocolate malt aroma- with lots of toasted nuts and a good caramel hint. Nice burnt malt flavor with lots of chocolatey notes, nutty, lightly hopopy in the end. Body is medium to lgiht, but still really nice. Good Porter.
