Smartmouth Prez. Porter Hardy is the fourth man in his family to carry the name and each year we have honored these gentlemen one-by-one with uniquely crafted porters. We’ve finally made it to IV, so we’re releasing a chocolate porter in honor of our man, who in addition to beer, also loves chocolate. This flavorful 5.9% ABV porter gets its chocolatey essence from the cocoa nibs so it isn’t too sweet.

Appearance - Pours nice black color with foamy tan colored head. Spotty lacing all around the glass.
Aroma - Dark bakers chocolate and vanilla, there also seems to be hints of cinnamon and spices. Roasted malts.
Taste - Roasted malts, dark bitter chocolate and vanilla, there is a hint of smoke on the finish as well as caramel.
Feel - Medium bodied, well carbonated smooth maybe a touch thin.
Overall - A very tasty porter, only complaint is maybe a touch thin other than that a great beer.
