Pours an extremely dark brown, near pitch black, with a very stiff, light brown head. Great lacing as well. Although it looks nice, the smell left much to be desired. Nothing very noticable besides some breadiness. Taste was mediocre at best as well. Taste is roasty but not really coffeeish or dark chocolates either. Roasted dark malts, very dry mouthfeel. Tastes kind of burnt actually. Overall, this beer is mediocre. There is nothing that really sticks out and strikes me as being great about it, or even good.

This is the fist Southern Tier offering that has left me wanting. I guess I was due to find a beer from them that doesn't appeal to me.

355 ml bottle, as Southern Tier Porter Dark, at Plan B, Copenhagen. Black colour, huge beige head. Lovely vinous and fruity aroma, notes of American hops and orange marmalade. The roasty notes are very subdued. The flavour is very moderately roasty, notes of chocolate and moderate American hops, not very sweet. Decent beer.

Pours a dark brown producing a small short-lived, tan head that leaves behind no lace as it recedes. Aroma is toast and roasted malt, unsweetened cocoa. Taste is malty chocolate, toffee, roasted nuts with a hint of floral. A little smoke in the bitter finish.

They got the color right. It pours dark but with minimal head.
Hint of roast in the nose.
Minimal flavor with a touch of roasted malts.
Thin watery mouthfeel.
Most dissapointing
Maybe I got a bad bottle. The other reviewers seem to like it.

Enjoying on tap at Gingerman NYC. Is this a different iteration of Southern Tier Porter. This one is called Robust Porter and is at 5.8% ABV.
Pours a deep dark brown, almost black color, with a moderate tan head that retains well. Creamy film and frothy lacing ornaments the surface and side of the glass.
Nice cocoa and mild coffee and roasted malt aroma. The malt also imparts a nutty quality.
Smooth and creamy, medium bodied and light fit the style. Sweet and cocoa like at first. The taste becomes slightly more bitter as I drink along. Mildly bitter espresso roast and a hoppy finish.
Solid and straightforward and easy to drink porter.
