Dark beer with a tiny of red white head that becomes nothing over time, chocolatey and roast smell but not to strong, Carmel roasted taste but seems a little watered down, light body with good carbonation

On tap at Hope & Olive. Kinda on the brown ale end of the spectrum. Not bad though.

Dark reddish brown with tan head.
Smells toasty with some notes of roasted coffee.
Sweet and malty in flavor. Notes of coffee and chocolate are present. The finish is dry and leaves a toasty malt flavor in your mouth that is somewhat reminiscent of graham cracker, but it is pretty subtle.
It seems more like a darker brown ale than a porter to me. The flavor is good, but not as a roasted as I would expect a porter to be. Still a great beer that I would go for again.

Draft pint at dinner at Brewmaster Pub in Williamsburg tonight.
a: Black with clear ruby notes. Finger thick offwhite head receded to virtually nothing as it was consumed.
s: Slight caramel malt.
t; Caramel malt with good strength, sweet to dry finish. Very Crystal/Fuggles malty brews can be over the top with the caramel flavor, and taste more like a butterscotch drop. This was milder.
m; Medium, ok body and a little carbonation tingle.
o: A tasty and satisfying brew, but for some reason I got neither obvious graham cracker flavor or the expected roasty malt porter smoke/coffee or chocolate flavor. Hard to rate this because I liked it but it was not your usual porter experience. Perhaps that's why it was called Graham Cracker Porter, trying to emphasize the sweetish maltiness.

Doesn't look like or taste like a Porter.

Not bad, just not good either. Generic tasting porter without much flavor.

L - Deep mahogany color bordering on brown with a finger of off-white head
S - Generic porter smell with some roasted malts. More of a deep tree sap and tree bark aroma rather than honey
T - B=Heavy on the roasted malt presence with a burnt coffee ground taste. The honey malts adds some sweetness, but the taste does not remind me of graham crackers. Leaves a metallic aftertaste.
F - Medium feel. No alcohol taste.
O - Decent porter that's red in color. Doesn't deliver graham cracker flavor. Not offensive, but it is a liar.

Tastes pretty good and has a nice dark color but honestly the lack of smell combined with the price I paid
Not a must
But enjoyable

This beer was terrible. Looks like a soda, has no nose and has the no malt flavor. Total garbage.
The can packaging date was not stamped on the bottom of the can. I will seek some explanation from the Beer Cellar for not vetting out crap like this.
