On draft at Evolution. Light on the nose and mouthfeel, very little head. Slightly roasty, bready, smooth, and easy drinking. Overall a decent Porter.

Bottle from Giant. Kind of flat pour, dull and lifeless. Aroma is sweet, molasses, minor hints of roast grains. taste carries forward with the sweetness, with some earthy, dirty flavors, recalling a scotch ale. Definite peat flavors, root beer. Where is the porter? Not getting what they were trying for....

Body looks a bit thin; brown to copper color. First impression is big yeast flavor, followed by some roastyness and maybe a little caramel. That's as complex as it gets. Carbonation is good. There are better porters, but this is still an agreeable, drinkable beer.

Tastes notes of caramel and coffee. Light for a Porter. Pleasant carbonation. More hoppy than I'd expect. Pleasant finish and aftertaste. I would drink again but if there were other porters I might choose another, this isn't really a standout for me.

12oz bottle, wine glass, no freshness date.
It’s dark cola colored with a short lived light cream head.
Cardboard, instant coffee, cola.
Light cola flavor, slightly nutty, oxidized, weak coffee, metallic. All the right flavors, but muted and too oxidized.
Medium-light body, light carbonation, thin feeling.
It lacks the richness, flavor, and body of a good Porter. It also doesn’t help that it may be quite old, but who knows, there’s no bottling date!

Requisite dark appearance with a medium size mocha colored head and good lacing. Moderately sweet, chocolatey aroma in front of some roasted malts. A hint of vanilla bean along with woody, earthy flavors compliment the bittersweet chocolate taste. Smooth medium bodied, modestly carbonated mouthfeel with an average finish.

Very dark brown with ruby edges. Thick tan head, excellent retention, rings of lace.
Very dark coffee, toasted brown bread, a bit of slightly scorched caramel.
Yeah man. Tastes like it smells. Good stuff.
Medium bodied and appropriate carbonation.
This is a damn good porter for an everyday drinker.
