This porter has a lot going on: It is a dark, roasty, nutty, chocolatey, rich English porter with a light, smokey background and a hint of cherrywood fruitiness. It is not as rich as a stout, but has plenty of flavors to entertain the dark beer drinker, while still being approachable to a regular beer drinker experimenting with the dark side. One of our most successful beers, this Cherrywood-smoked porter homebrew recipe took a silver medal at the Cherry Blossom Homebrew Competition in 2017.

On tap at brewery:
Deep brown that seems to have a dark red hue looking at the edges. The light beige head lasts nearly forever and provides slightly morphing lace around the glass. Clarity seems pretty high as the beer fades from the glass. Very nice looking beer.
The nose is roasted malts and some slightly scorched wood, but it takes some investigation to determine this. Warmth dies bring out the char to make it easier to discern.
Luckily the taste isn’t so demure. Roasted malts jump right out, and a light, leaning watery feel doesn’t quell them. There is a little woodiness to the bitterness, though it seems like the char of the roasted malt really brings its own medium roast coffee bitterness. The menu indicates some cherrywood, and there is a very light tang in some sips, but so light I feel I may be influenced by the description.
Overall an enjoyable malt-driven beer that showcases the dark malt choices of the brewer.
