Draft

App- Fairly light brown with a little bit of head and lace. Was a bit light.

Smell- Some roasted malts and a bit earthy. Little bit of bread to it.

Taste-It's a fairly light and malty porter. They are on the right track to something good here. I think in 3 years they have adjusted to the recipe.

Mouth- Medium bodied and a medium carb. Leaves a bit of bread malt on the end.

Drink- Not a porter I would say blew me away. Its decent and tasty. Could be better but in a beerfest a porter is a welcome sight.

One of the worst porters I've ever had. Redefines how bad a porter can be.

Looks okay, very dark brown, nice light tan head. Smell is ... nonexistent? WTF? How is that possible? Okay, I'll try it...

The taste is almost entirely burnt wood. Not roasted malt, not toasted chocolate/caramel, just ash. No chocolate, maybe a bit of charred coffee, no rum, no nothing. Just completely awful.

Mouthfeel somewhat watery for the style.
