Pours a dark, dark brown with a firm slightly tan head that leaves a nice lid on the brew in the glass. Could have had some more head though, not too huge.
Smells of christmas at first for some reason... no idea what it is that puts that idea in my nose though. After the initial christmas I get a very pronounced fruitiness up fronta happy mix of green grapes, orange, grape fruit and some kind of darker berries, maybe cranberries. There is a of course a distinct roasted prescense backing up the fruity notes, contributing with a breadiness reminiscent of rye-bread, but the (hoppy) fruit dominates the nose.
Starts off pretty mild... with a full roasted malt-attack, very quickly followed by grape fruity hops and followed by a milder than expected btiterness and a little hint of coffee. Not much more to it in my view :(
Slightly watery mouth feel, but with a nice and crisp carbonation that encourages one to take another sip.

Is this for real? I haven't done a review of this beer i first started banging in the late 90s? Ok. So Avery is/was (I dunno Crooked Stave puts out some bangers nowadays) my favorite Colorado brewery, almost always good, cross section of styles, usually good quality and affordability.
This pours dark brown. Hits a 4/5" beige head, great retention. This is the porter appearance you were looking for. The aroma is entirely roasted malt and bittering hops. Just straight up "new world" porter territory.
Taste imparts roasted two row barley, light chocolate malt notes, light coffee from all that roasted malt notes. Runs around 55 ibu I would guess, bittering hops firm, yet not oppressive or dominating. This is like one of those super consistent and prototypical kind of new world/American porter recipes, tried and true. Its totally out of style in this era of dumping candy and shit into a dark beer where you sludge it up into Chicago pour territory. But if you want a great, traditional, no frills beer to bang yourself at 6/$10, you got yourself a deal right here.
