Had on tap at F’Burg brew pub. A nice chance to try a GABF gold winner. Nice soft brew with good strains of roasted dark malts and cacao.
Enjoyed!

Overall, not bad. Very smooth Port. Not a lot of flavors, but pleasant to drink.

Very interesting Porter.

***I like full bodied Porter's.

I like Porter that are as thick and rich in the body as they are in the dark flavour. This has all that except the of part unfortunately, but the rest is there.

Look: very dark, all little watery looking.
Smell: espresso, coffee
Taste: toasty, malty, espresso, coffee, like molasses, sweet, sugar
Feel: light body - one the of the few things I personally do not like about this beer.
Overall: taste is pretty good, wish the body would match

This one pours a fairly dark brown, with a small white head and lots of lacing.

This smells like cocoa powder, lactose, and roasted malt.

This isn’t exactly a heavy hitter in any way- it’s just a bit boring. There’s a bit of powdery chocolate, a bit of roasted malt, but nothing that really excites me.

This is light bodied, creamy and pretty drinkable. It’s got a normal level of carbonation.

This is just like any other porter out there. Nothing to see here.

Had a pint with lunch today after visiting the LBJ ranch for $4.85.

Beer poured dark brown with a solid tan head that left some lacing.

Nose had hints of coffee over light roast.

Taste was chocolate with some coffee blended nicely with the light roasted malt.

Mouthfeel was way too thin which detracted from the overall experience.

Overall a nice flavor to this beer but lacks the depth and body to make it outstanding.
