Great Porter!

A - Pours a dark black chocolate color with a nice 1 1/2 finger coffee colored head

T - Smooth, rich and delicious. Roasted chocolate with the perfect combination of coffee, vanilla and caramel.

O - Great brew. Hands down the best English Porter out there.

Bought a case of this stuff because Wormtown is just that good. Can't wait for them to release their next bottle. Poured into a pint glass.

A - Spectacular deep brown pour with a big creamy two finger mocha head. I'm talking guiness creamy. It faded at a normal rate leaving some nice side lacing. Sooo creamy.

S - Usual great roasty chocolate and vanilla awesomeness. Nice carmel notes too.

T - Much like the nose this is rich and full tasting. Lots of great chocolate and light coffee notes along with some really solid vanilla notes.

M - Super rich and full and creamy. This stuff feels like lightly tingly and carbonated velvet. Quite good in the mouth, oh so refreshing.

O - Yeah, this stuff is oh so good. Great appearance and awesome smell, taste, mouthfeel. Yeah, this has been worth the wait!

Served: On tap at Peppercorn's, 10/23, served in a snifter. Served a little too cold, but was able to warm while waiting for my food.

A- Black, 1 finger creamy mocha brown, sticky head. Head dissipated quickly, but the lacing clung to the glass with avengence. Looked viscous as I swirled it, but it was in a snifter with a relatively narrow top. Looked very pretty, pour was perfect, right to the rim.

S- Picked up strong vanilla and caramel at first, but as it warmed, more chocolate and coffee came through.

T- Amazing... sweet up front with the same vanilla and caramel in the nose. As it warmed, more warmth from the alcohol could be detected. There was almost none of the smokey, slightly acrid roasted malt I've tasted in other porters. Finish was clean, only slightly dry, and I didn't pick up on much in the way of any hop notes.

M- Smooth, smooth, smooth. I don't think this was on nitro, but it felt like it. Definitely full bodied; you always knew it was in your mouth, but very pleasant sensation.

D- I could've drunk this all night. 'Nuff said.

Smooth, sweet and amazing. Complex, but all the flavors come together exceptionally well and were complimentary. I had it with a bison burger, and as far as main courses go, the mild flavor of the bison was OK as a pairing, but I would probably reserve this for dessert only if I were to do it over. Anyone in the central MA area, go get this while it lasts! Small batch, no growlers.

Somehow I never got to review this on tap, and now it's in bottle form! Hell yeah!

The top pops with a nice "tssst" sound, and pours a nice rich creamy darker colored 1 finger head with some nice lacing, over super dark brown color with hints of maroon rosy light coming though.

Nose is erupting from the pour, lots of nice roasted malts, creamy light chocolate, light fresh brewed coffee, plenty of crystal malts and caramel, a light vanilla, a bit more chocolate comes through as it warms bringing just a slight hot cocoa.

As the soft luscious beer hits my mouth, it dances around for a bit, delicately hinting at some chocolate, hot cocoa, and light cocoa nibs, then bringing on some roasted malts, a hint of fresh coffee, a bit creamy, then loads on the vanilla and caramel, plenty of crystal malts. Fairly rich, but creamy, smooth, and maintains a nice drinkable feel. The finish leaves a bit drier, very light residue left around the mouth as well as some lingering roast and chocolate, and just a hint of earthy bitter hops to finish it off, and some bitterness coming from the loads of roasted malts.

Mouth is a bit heavier bodied, creamy and luscious, with decent carbonation.

Overall this is an awesome porter, def one of the best around, if not in the country. Lots of big heavy luscious flavors, but still smooth and very drinkable. With all teh roast as well it didn't bring any minerality or acrid flavors, and booze was kept in check well.

A gracious free box sent to be by ShogoKawada contained a bomber of this unheard of beer.

Poured into a Perfect Pint
Appearance
This porter has its roots planted in the red hues. This is evident on the pour as well as when held to the light. Deep, yet rich reds shine through the blacks and browns. The head was a sizable two fingers high and left small patches of lacing.

Aroma
Very chocolatey. Aromas of chocolate chip cookies and cappuccino emanate from the glass. Coffee aromas are sweetened and lightened up by milk chocolate and a sweet creaminess.

Taste
Again, very chocolatey with only enough bitterness from roasted malts and faint hops to cut back any cloying sweetness. The coffee flavors wait until the end to show up and even then they are blended with creme and cocoa. A little bit of hops give an orange pithy flavor to the finish.

Mouthfeel
The pour didn't look exceptionally viscous but the feel is full that I had expected. Its quite nice with a creamy and low level of carbonation.

Overall
This is a really well done porter. In many ways it reminds me of Edmund Fitzgerald. Wormtown should really consider keeping this one around and putting it in 6 packs.

22oz Bomber from Shogokawada, poured into 2 Portsmouth Brewery tulips, at slightly below cellar temps. Shared with a Stout/Porter friend.

Bottled March '11. 2010 GABF Bronze Medal winner.

A - Dark black with light hints of red on the edges. Thin head, leaves little lacing. Head stayed for most of the glass. Looks great.

S - Malt, light roasted coffee, nutty(?), very muted nose until it warms a bit, and even then, it's still fairly muted. Had to get it swirling & really dig for those aromas.

T - Roasted coffee, light chocolate, slight hop bitterness. Well balanced - everything comes together nicely.

M - Creamy, great carbonation, balanced as well.

O/D - A great Porter! Well balanced, smooth, definitely "sessionable" - I could have a couple, maybe 3 glasses if I was in a Porter mood, and be good to go. Really glad I got to try this one!

I really like this beer and I've never heard of Wormtown brewers before trying this one out. I'm intrigued and will seek out more from this brew house. This is a really delightful porter that hits all the right notes. It looks good with a nice dark brown, with some ruby notes, and a nice thick pour with a creamy head that retains. The beer laces in billowy clumps around the sides of the glass. The nose has a slightly oaky and slightly hoppy maltiness too it. The hops you'll find in the flavor, but not so much the oakiness.

This beer has a very smooth, almost buttery cocoa powder flavor, with lots of rich dark malts, a sweet underneath complemented by some bittering dark unsweetened chocolates and some leafy hop as well. The chocolate, the hop, and the buttery cocoa makes this porter a winner. I'm really impressed and I will go back for another. The beer is substantial enough with a nice medium body, but doesn't have any booziness or residual ABV in the aftertaste. What's not to like. L'Chaim.

22oz bottle purchased as a single at Yankee Spirits, Sturbridge, MA.

Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/2" dark tan head over the barely translucent dark brown brew. Head falls slowly, with a thick coating of lasting lace. Aroma is robust and hearty, full of deep dark malts.

Taste starts a bit worty, with rich nutty maltiness, but not quite the depth indicated by the nose. Continues through with light bitterness coupled with a moderate acrid coffee close. Mouthfeel is super smooth and velvety, and drinkability is superb. This is some good porter.

22oz bottle poured into a long-stem tulip glass.
Bottled in March 2011

A-> Beefy 3 finger head on top of very dark brew that is not quite totally opaque and has a reddish hue when held up to the light.

S-> I'm a tad congested but this smells of classic roasted porter aromas of nutty matls and roasted coffee with a touch of sweet bitter chocolate.

T-> Holy malted porter! Very dark coffe flavors with a hint of the dark chocolate. Also getting a roasted, creamy, nuttiness that accompanies the robust bitter hoppiness.

M-> Taste is full of flavor and very robust however this is not quite full bodied. Medium with a healthy malt bill and pretty dry on the finish. Wonderful yet subtle hop presence.

O-> Really enjoyed this one while not knowing what to expect heading in. Had to figure that it must be good if Ben and the gang went to the trouble of bottling this. Loved the bitter finish. Great work Keith and Ben!

Poured in to a pint glass

A: This beer pours a nice deep, dark brown with light ruby highlights when held to the light. A 1/4 inch of brown foamy head sits on top that recedes to a light film. Spidered lacing is left on the glass.

S: Nose is fantastic milk chocolate and coffee notes, some light toffee and roasted malt.

T: Taste is - this may just be the best porter that I've had in a long time. Milk chocolate fills out the forefront with a bit of toffee notes that are underlay the chocolate. Roasted malt flavoring fills out the middle. Finish is creamy, more milk chocolate with coffee bitterness that comes through.

M: Medium body, medium carbonation, nice creamy, silky body.

O: Goes down easily, extremely tasty, not too filling, nice kick, great representation of style. Flavor alone will make this a go to porter for me, and the price point on it make it an even better sell. This will be one that I revisit quite a bit this fall.

22oz into bell's pint glass. 1st bottling. ~1 month old.

A- Big creamy mocha head slowly rises to 2-fingers on a dark roast coffee-colored beer. Nice heavy lace ring from the top and mild lacing all the way down. Head takes a while to settle and never really goes away.

S- Coffee and cream, sweet and pleasant.

T- Big dark fruit and mild grassy hops. Bitter earthy chocolate comes on strong as well. Very robust and flavorful. Lots of coffee in the finish.

M- Very full and rich, great carbonation, well-crafted. Supreme balance. Opens up nicely as it warms.

O- A very impressive beer- this one took me by surprise. Wormtown should make this a regular.

Poured from bottle dated January 2013 into my Yeti tulip. Had passed this one on a number of occasions and, with my upcoming relocation, I picked it up on my last trip to the store.

A: Pours a dark, dark brown that borders on black with a finger's worth of khaki head that doesn't stay around quite as long as I'd expect with a beer of this ABV. No other complaints, however.

S: Lots of baker's chocolate and bready malts with a hint of smoke tied in. Not overly sweet by any means, but you know you're going to get something akin to a dark chocolate brownie upon tasting it.

T: Definitely picking up on the same notes that I had gotten in the nose. Very chocolately, but more bitter than sweet. Really nice.

M: It is thick and probably bordering on a stout, but I'm enjoying this on a muggy May evening without any second thoughts. I would like to have the taste linger a little longer on the palate, but while you're drinking it, it's hard to think about staying away from another sip.

O: I'm not happy with myself for having passed this up so many times at the store. The pricepoint ($7.99) could be a bit more reasonable, but it's worth it to pick it up once in a while if you've got access. I would've loved to try this with some barrel-aging.

thanks to lalaloveyou for this beer! Thanks lauren!

reviewed from notes taken on 8/6/12.

poured into tulip glass.

Appearance: light black bodied beer with a talk creamy 2 finger tall tan head.

Smell: very balanced nose between chocolate and roasty notes. A hint of smoke. This smells really nice!

Taste: smooth milk chocolates. mild roast that has very mild bitterness. The smoke creeps in towards the end and does not seem to assert itself; just is apart of the supporting cast. The beer has a bittersweet cocoa aftertaste that tends to linger for a while. (4.25)

Mouthfeel: low end of a medium bodied beer with moderate carbonation. It has a really silky feel to it almost like its creamy. No ABV is noticed; its hidden completely.

Overall: Really solid porter here. I appreaciate how malt forward this beer is, yet it did not become a cloyingly sweet or overly roasty and bitter. This porter is all about balanced malt profile. And really its a perfect example of what a porter should strive for. The only better porter that I have drank with this beer style and that beer is HF Everett.

SO good. It just knocked Great Lakes' Fitzy off my fave porter. So beautifully orchestrated. I won't say much about the characteristics of a porter/stout. That shit is getting old. You know what to expect. This is less dry than what you might think coming from a "porter", but it's so smooth, and creamy, with the slight notes of chocolate . . . mmm. Coffee of course, you know whats up. Malted to perfection on the roast. Enjoy!

Bottled in February 2012. 22oz bottle poured into an imperial pint glass.

The beer looks clear and almost orangish brown going when poured into the glass but settles in a much deeper brown, opaque and almost black. A nice tan head develops and settles in as a thin foam cap, leaving some decent lacing on the glass.

The nose is dominated by a nice pleasant roasted aroma. There is a hint of some light (milk?) chocolate and an even lesser amount of some coffee. At times, perhaps more as the beer warms, a subtle sweetness comes out. Really straightforward but also very nice.

The taste has the same characteristics as the nose but it's not dominated as much by the roast. The roasted notes are still prevalent but they aren't overpowering. The chocolate comes out more and is definitely of the milk chocolate variety. It provides a nice creaminess that is followed by some light coffee and a bit of bitterness at the finish.

The beer has a medium body but lower carbonation gives it a bit of a fuller feel. Not huge, but definitely a solid porter. The mouthfeel is also very creamy, which is very nice because it seems like the beer wants to dry out but is prevented from doing so. Really nice.

This is an excellent porter. It gives the feeling of a big, robust porter but the ABV doesn't match up. As mentioned, it's very straightforward, and seems to be pretty simple, but it's done extremely well.

Super excited that i stumbled across a few bottles of this at Yankee in attleboro, definitely thought i missed out on it.
Poured into Sam Adams perfect pint, nice chocolatey black brown with a creamy mocha colored head. Overall head retention lacks just a little bit, but at least keeps a bit of froth on top to add to the texture for each sip.
The nose is on the faint side, but what it has is nice. Bittersweet chocolate, a light roastiness, and the tiniest touch of hops round this out. Im glad i poured this much closer to room temperature, as i feel that what im now getting would be even more muted.
Chocolate and coffee flavors dominate with a thick maltiness up front, and let up a bit for a phenomenal bitterness on the finish. The carbonation level is just right, and provides a great transition from start to finish.
Overall, the pure drinkability and tastiness of this beer scores huge points. It really rounds out very nicely for an excellent drinking experience. Totally worth checking out.

Original bottled batch from March 2011 (almost 2 years old now).

A: Pours a dark brown with a big fluffy and effervescent light brown head. Fades at a nice pace with good head retention. Oddly enough, zero lacing initially. Absolutely none. Swirling seems to drop some deposits behind at least though.

S: A little bit of smoke and chocolate. Nice mild roasted malt in general. Slightly creamy.

T: Up front there's creamy chocolate and smoky meat (almost like beef jerky). Smoke lingers in the middle with sweet and creamy chocolate. Touch of char and smoke in the finish. Get little flashes of dark fruit buried in there once in a while.

M: Medium bodied, quite smooth and creamy. Especially full for a lighter beer.

O: A really nice mellow, smooth and creamy english porter. No sign of hops, just mild roasted malt from start to finish. Drinkability is off the scale, just a pleasure to imbibe. Not overly smoky like a lot of english-style porters. Great balance to boot. This is up there with the greats like Founders Porter and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald in my opinion.

Pours deep brown, almost black, with a nice thick tan head. No true lace.

Milk sweetness in the nose, bitter chocolate and mocha notes.

Nice charred but sweet malt up front. Cocoa, sweet coffee, light bitterness all balanced evenly. Lightly malty-sweet and bitter in the finish, like bitter chocolate. Charred bits in the middle as the beer transitions are very nice.

Medium to fuller bodied. Moderate carbonation.

A winner here. Great porter. Glad this was a big bottle. Tasty, not cloying or overdone. One of the better sweet-side dark brews I've had in a while.

Appears very dark brown with a one inch pretty brown head. Some lacing. Falls to a nice blanket. Smells of rich chocolate and coffee - big nose. Tastes like the nose with some vanilla. A great tasting porter. Body is medium plus and the carbonation is medium creating a nice mouthfeel. Overall a very enjoyable drink.

Picked up this bomber at a good price recently. Overall, I'm pretty impressed by this local effort.

Appearance: Deep and dark brown that is only slightly light around the edges of the tulip I'm using. I got a little head on the beer with an aggressive pour, but it quickly subsided.

Aroma: Not a real fragrant beer. You pick up a slight roasted nut smell. There also seems to be a very faint hop earthiness to the smell that is present, but not very noticeable at first.

Taste: Wow, the roast on this beer is robust to say the least. The malt brings notes of black coffee, dark roasted peanut, and a note of slight creamy sweetness. There is a good balancing bitterness in the linger that comes from the earthy hop bill.

Mouthfeel/Drinkability: Very drinkable, for sure. The body of this beer is not all that heavy, but their is a creamy mouthfeel that allows the flavors to coat the palette yet not overwhelm.

Overall: Very good porter. This is now one of my value picks on a trip to the store. I enjoyed this brew a lot.

22oz. bottle served in a standard pint. Bottled in March 2011. Pours the color and clarity of cola with a two inch, bubbly, mocha-colored, float-like head. Head eventually settles into a solid quarter inch cap. Some arcs and spots of lacing present during the tasting. Nose expresses roasted malt, perhaps a trace of chocolate, and some dry-hopping also seems evident in the aromas towards the back. Taste is fantastic - lactose, roasted malt, cocoa and a hint of charring. Mouthfeel is medium-light with a pleasant creamy texture and a light, even carbonation. A delicious drinkable porter. If this beer was available in six packs, it would be part of my regular line-up. A really flavorful American Porter that is a nice alternative to a large abv malt bomb.

22oz bottle into Portsmouth snifter. Thanks to SneezyAchew for both the beer and the glass.

A: Pours a very dark brown with about a finger of dense light brown head that faded to a fuzzy collar that left spots of lacing down the glass.
S: Creamy notes of coffee, cream and spices. The nose is light but it smells good.
T: A very roasted tasting porter with soft notes of coffee and vanilla with a some sweeter notes of caramel and dark fruits. I get roasted flavors of nuts and a hint of bakers chocolate as well. Finish is sweet with just a hint of minty hops, and the aftertaste almost reminds me of root beer or cola but in a good way.
M: High carbonation creates a tingly mouthfeel on this one but it also adds some chewiness. Body is on the thicker side of medium.
O: A very solid porter, not my favorite, but probably top 5. I would love to be able to get this locally. Thanks again Michael.

Thanks to Alex for sharing this, it was quite an interesting and a bit different beer.

A - Nice looking beer. Black with a touch of red on the edges. Had a nice brown head that left some solid stick behind.

S - Nicely toasted and roasted. Beyond that base, you get some interesting fruity yeast and sweet notes with some cocoa. It's a nice mix that is a bit different, and works.

T - I found the first taste of this beer to be very good. I didn't like it quite as much as I went on, but it was still a good beer. Particulaly dry beer with a lot of roast. There is some cocoa and some twig-berry flavors. It's interesting.

M - Medium bodied with good carbonation.

O - Got through this bottle rather easily. It's a solid beer that is great for a change of pace as it's a bit different than most things out there. Worth giving a go.

This beer pours dark as night black, thick and oily, with a thin tan head that retreats quickly, leaving a nice Bavarian ring on the glass. Reddish hues are noticeable if you hold the glass up to light.

Smell has hints of fresh roasted coffee, chocolate, dark dried fruits, with just a dash of hoppy citrusy brightness to balance it off.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and active, good carbonation, yet very smooth.

Taste follows the smell-notes of earthy roasted coffee, chocolate malt, and a warming alcohol presence are followed by a subtle chaser of hops that are not at all bitter and cut through the heaviness of the malts with perfection. Awesomely balanced finished.

This is a great porter- superbly drinkable, perfectly balanced, it's a shame this is a one time brew. I may have to stage an "Occupy Wormtown" protest to get this beer brewed year round.

I enthusiastically recommend this beer to all.
