Brewed for those times when you need to blow off a little steam. Blown Gasket is a darker offering with a moderately strong malt character. Notes of toffee and chocolate. This porter is robust as a new gasket kit, black and smooth like poured oil. Delicious black oil.

Poured from a can into a tulip glass. Deep, dark brown color with a good beige head and good lacing. Nice roasted malt smell. Taste includes chocolate, pumpernickel, and sweet toffee. Enjoyed it.

Pours a dark brown into a fifteen ounce glass mug the same temperature as the beer. Two fingers of mocha solid foamy head. Adequate lacing.
Smacks the nose with chocolate fudge. Next up is the dark roast coffee with a hint of toffee. Nutty.
Taste of chocolate fudge follows the nose. Bread. Coffee nose almost disappears in the flavor profile. Toffee remains. Lighter flavor than most porters. Finish is dry.
Medium bodied brew with moderate carbonation.
Overall a very drinkable light porter.
