Great in all ways, docked slightly because the look and feel is too syrupy

The standard bearer for porters. Pours dark with a nice creamy head. Looks and feels substantial but not thick. So many wonderfully complex aromas and flavors. A favorite for sure.

Best porter ever tasted. Super toasty with chocolate malts and espresso. Great for the winter months.

Poured from a single serve bottle into a stout glass...

Pours a nearly (but not quite) opaque brownish black (really dark brown?) Excellent lacing, though the head retention was fairly lacking. The aromas are classic porter--char, chocolate, and espresso-dark coffee. The flavors are right there as well. An interesting mix of astringency and sweetness, with just a touch of hoppy bitterness. The mouthfeel is worthy of special note. Excellent body, without getting heavy. Full-bodied, yet light and dry at the finish, thanks to the aforementioned hops and some excellent carbonation. This is an excellent porter that truly distinguishes itself from its brother/sister/cousin, the stout. Tasty.

Smell of coffee, chocolate and malty tones.

Definitely a malty coffee flavor at the beginning. It has a sweet, bitter flavor that’s overcome by a stronger, almost nutty flavor. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is nice.

Feels great in the mouth with a pleasing carbonation.

It’s an absolutely delicious Porter. Definitely worth your time. Savor it!
