look: 4 | smell: 2.25 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 2.5

Split with rudzud as he mentioned. Bottled in 2012

Pours a dark mocha color fizzy head that hits a finger and fades pretty quickly, little lacing, pitch black color.

Nose is bad, probably infected, sour malt, sour fruit, faint roast and dark malt, little caramel, but mostly like a sour cherry.

Taste starts soured, infection soured, some light porter flavors with light roast and caramel, light acrid, creamy dark porter, light cocoa, but mostly sour cherry and soured malts. Fairly acidic too and tart. Finish the sour flavors at least die off, and its bready biscuit caramel with light roast char and cocoa lingering. The finish mostly gives glimpses into what the beer should have been, without the sourness.

Mouth is med to fuller bodied, nice carb at least.

Overall it seems like it would be pretty good of not infected. But undrinkable and pretty bad with the sour infection.

Split with JLindros. I got this in a box a while back as a thank you for sending a trading partner a case of heady topper for a wedding peresent.

A - poured a nice black hue with a thin mocha head that fades to leave a thin blanket.

S - Gaahhhh that's infection. Damnit. Sour chocolate cherry....hints at what would have been a decent beer.

T - Taste is burnt malts, acidic sour cherries....ugh. just not good at all. Flashes of chocolate. But really meh.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated and not bad.

O - Overall this beer was decent enough but ugh....infected.

big thanks to portable for this treat. enjoyed from a dc brau can glass.

bottle from 2012

a - brew poured watery black with an insane head that filled about half the glass. the head was frothy and foamy and a deep tan if not creamy brown. really thick and frothy. looked like a milkshake. the head hung out forever and left chunky lacing in the few spots that it dissolved.

s - robust roasted malt. has a crispness and a char to it, but more of a milky thing than a charcoal char. really pleasing.

t - very soft. roasted black malt. stale coffee. soft bitter bakers chocolate on the finish. cooling.

m - crisp and easy drinker. brisk. almost milk stout, but with a char.

o - overall a really nice porter. very classic and tasty. good char without being too much and nice subtle chocolate notes.

12 oz. can poured into a snifter.

Appearance - Very dark, but transparent at the edges. Nice khaki head. Retains a thick collar and nice surface wisps.

Smell - Very roasty. Almost smokey. Some vanilla. Nice.

Taste - Still very roasty. Bitter chocolate and some smoke. Carbonation takes over and masks a lot of the flavors. Bitter finish.

Mouthfeel - Highly carbonated. Lingering chocolate finish.

Overall - Pretty good and very flavorful for its size.

A- Gorgeous deep opaque dark brown with a light brown, moderate sized head. Not much lacing which makes sense given the small head size.

S- At first I get roasty mild coffee grounds, ever so slight chocolate. Later it turns into horse barn or hamster cage. Not sure what happened.

T- Charred, roasty, refreshing, somewhat astringent, a bit sweet at the beginning and finishes dry like a good dark chocolate bar.

M- Moderate thickness, small bubbled carbonation, carbonation feels right.

O- This was surprisingly much better than I was expecting. I like DC Brau's OTWOA but I'm not a huge fan of their other beers. This was one of the better ones I tried.

a: pqp is a deep, opaque mahogany brown in color, floating a thick, crema colored head with great retention and lacing

s: a complex roast-centric nose featuring earthy, deeply roasted barley, dark cocoa, charred wood, and coffee; earthy and deep, really like this

m: carbonation just under moderate, body medium-full, creamy and smooth mouthfeel

t: a bold, richly flavored porter - big roasts, cocoa, and dark coffee all make an appearance, some caramelized sugars underneath dark chocolate and roasted barley to start give way to drier, more charred flavors midway, finishing with a burnt earthiness and clean bitter

o: a top notch porter - lots of varied roasted characters that come together to form a creamy and well-balanced beer; huge flavor for a low-moderate abv porter, and drinks well as a result

Bomber from Liquor Outlet.

Brown out of the bottle, in the glass its Pitch black with the thinnest of ruby red line around he bottom of the glass. Six fingers of light tan very rocky foam. Good ripping lace.

Deep roast coffee aroma. Hints of chocolate and nuts.

Taste finds the coffee's rough dark roast edge smooth out by rich dark chocolate.

Very good mouthfeel. Thick, rich, syrupy.

A well done porter, recommended.

22oz bottle into NB snifter. Thank jbck109.

A: Popped the cap and poured a glass full of foam. Huge reactive, foamy and soft light brown head, filled the glass. Creamy looking. Infected looking… Crazy retention, great sheets of lace.
S: Mild roasted, coffee, licorice, dark roasted grains, and something slightly sour. Uh oh.
T: All kinds of infected. Sour fruits up front with hints of the “normal” roasted porter flavors poking through. Aftertaste is bitter and then sour, almost like a warhead candy mixed with citrus rind. Pretty awful to be honest.
M: Foamy, sour, medium body.
O: Very disappointing that I got a bad bottle as I’ve heard good things about this brewery and was looking forward to try this beer. I can tell by the flavors that do poke through the infection that this would have been a great brew. This infection was worse than 09 Abyss. Undrinkable. Thanks for trying though, Jay. Sad to see I'm not the only one with a bad bottle. Cheers.

22 oz. bottle, gifted by a friend - who'd received it from a different friend upon her return from the DC-area last fall. Split to two pints with my wife yesterday afternoon.

Limited Release Robust Porter
Bottled in 2012, 5.5% abv.
'Vertical/Ages Well' wasn't something I expected on this relatively low-alcohol porter, but there it is, right beneath 'Penn Quarter Facts' (which are: Penn Quarter is most famous for Ford's Theatre, where President Abraham Lincoln's coat and hat can still be seen to this day.).

A: Very dark pour, nearly black - hardly a trace of light breaking through. A gigantic khaki head (almost 4 fingers) led me to suspect this as a little 'old' or 'off' - soooo much carbonation. But the fizzing foam stabilized, turned creamy, held nicely. Lacing was pretty gorgeous as a result, twinkling bands of cobwebs.

S: Nothing too 'off' in the scent - it's malted milk balls, cocoa powder, mild coffee. There's just a touch of fruity sourness, light & berry-like. Strength is appropriate.

T: Chewy chocolate fudge with "coffee & cream" undertones. A very slight tartness (hints of apple) give a little tangs. Finish seems dark, bitter, sorta ashy... but then surprises with some vanilla sweetness in flashes. Pretty interesting.

M: Steady, lively carbonation, a 'crisper' porter in the mouth. Once effervescence wanes, the feel thickens, a strengthening 'medium' weight with good coating and lasting dark chocolate bitter/sweetness.

O: Quite nice, we both liked it well enough and finished (too?) quickly. Would have preferred a little smoother carbonation, but I guess it's better than too little/dead mouthfeel. It'd be interesting to try this as part of a Vertical, but frankly I wouldn't wait on the 2012 too much longer. Only my second time tasting something from DC Brau - good work, y'all!

Side of the bottle "Penn Quarter Facts: Penn Quarter is Most Famous for Ford's Theater. Where President Abraham Lincoln's Coat and hat can still bee seen to this day." I've actually visited and it's pretty amazing how much history that tour has to offer, totally worth the visit if you're in to history.

22 oz. bomber poured into the lager version of the Sam Adams perfect pint glass. A nice hard pour has the liquid coming out close to black in color, but has some deep mahogany highlights. Nice coffee with a small amount of cream brown colored head that erupts pretty high, but has mostly small bubbles to it. Better than average lacing on this one.

Smell is very good, SUPER roasty. One of the more robust porters of this low ABV that I've had the pleasure of sniffing out. Lots of coffee with some mild chocolate, but an additional sweetness I can't quite put my finger on.

Taste is equally as excellent, and big for just a 5.5 ABV. Again, super roasty. Coffee flavors arn't as strong as the smell, but plenty present, sort of mixed with a fudgy chocolate without being too rich and decadent. In the back there is sort of a very weak creamy vanilla flavor that's not too strong, but it's present, maybe that's the sweetness I couldn't pick up in the smell.

Mouthfeel is really good. It's big and heavy, sort of like an imperial stout, but not so strong. Has all the strong roasty and flavorful. Smooth, rich (but not too rich), and slightly silky feel with a good carbonation level. Nice finish and super drinkable, very easy drinking porter. I think I'd rather see this in six packs though. This bomber was a nice treat, but I could see how it could get a little old and wouldn't mind having a bottle (or can) on my own that wasn't a bomber. Great beer, have one more bottle that I'll be cellaring.

22oz. bomber into a Brooklyn Brewery snifter. Shared with schen9303.

Pours pitch black with a 1.5 finger frothy, mocha head with great retention. Lacing is web-like and thin with great cling. Thin, oily legs. One of the better looking porters out there.

Nose is liquorice, toasted malt, and some coffee. A very mild sweetness lingers in the background. Decent but not the most aromatic.

Opens toasted malt, liquorice, smoke, and ash. Some chocolate and coffee notes in the middle with a slightly tart roasted note at the end. Finishes more liquorice and coffee with a lingering, roasty aftertaste. Solid but nothing memorable.

Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth with some bubbles in the mouth and goes down mellow with some warmth. Messy finish with a lingering aftertaste. Very appropriate feel for a ROBUST porter.

A solid interpretation of the style overall but nothing really makes this beer stand out. Look is amazing and the feel is very good but the flavor is just average and leans a bit towards the roasty end. If you like that type of porter, this is more than solid, otherwise, its worth a try but not great.

Bottle courtesy of joshdykema, thanks again!

Pours a very dark brown color, almost like a stout with a nice off white head.

Aromas are roasty, with some hints of cream, brown sugar, and grains.

Taste is roasty up front. Almost brunt and charred like. Light hints of cream and sugars, and a fleeting bitterness on the finish. Certainly is full flavored.

Mouthfeel is too thin. Especially for what this claims to be, a robust porter.

Overall, this is a pretty decent porter.

Bottled in 2012 (the label does not provide the month or date).

A: A slow pour into a standard pint glass produced a very large, three finger head that a dark mocha color and very dense. After a few minutes the head dissipated to about an eighth of a finger and left some good lacing. The brew was a deep brown and opaque.

S: The aroma was full of rich chocolate, toasted barley and grains, and dark dried fruits.

T: The taste consisted of charred barley, some toasted grains, dark dried fruit, and just a bit of unsweetened chocolate along with just a little earthy hops.

M: The body was full, rich, and heavy, and very smooth, too. It only had a small amount of carbonation, which was just about right for this beer.

O: This was a good porter. Its defining flavor was charred barley. The char went just a little too far for my tastes, and, it did not have any malt sweetness to help balance all the char bitterness. This is a little bit of a different type of porter due to all the char flavor. It is an okay porter, but it is not one that is in the top tier of the very competitive craft brew market. Still, I am glad I had this beer and I will probably have it again.

Finest porter I've ever had. "Chocolate" always sounded fake in descriptions of beer before I tried this one today. There is a sizzle at the end, the kind of zest that reminds me of peppered chocolate. Not bitter, not sweet, not so dark you can't taste the light inside. Absolutely superb. My new all time favorite porter. You should move to DC just to be close to a fresh keg of this stuff.

22 oz bottle into a pint glass.

Pours black, with a couple fingers of rich milk chocolate colored head. This maintains a smooth ½ finger, which coats the sides of the glass with creamy foam that slowly drips down the sides. The aroma is a nice flavorful blend of chocolate, toffee, coffee and ripe green citrus. The roast in particular here has a nice flavorful smokiness that stands out.

The taste is very similar, with a SMOOTH blend of chocolate, caramel, bitter leafy citric hops and then that same smoky roasted character on the back end which leaves this a bit charred and bitter on the finish. That finish never gets out of hand though, which I think stresses just how balanced and accessible the flavor profile is overall. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some initial crispness on the tongue before this spreads out into more of a bubbly creaminess that gives this a very drinkable feel.

Man, this was a TASTY take on an American Porter with a rich mix of delicious flavor and a smooth feel that had me gulping this much faster than I had anticipated. I’d be down for a glass of this anytime.

First I'll note that I could smell this right after opening it, chocolate with light roast, cacao nibs and cocoa powder. Very chocolaty on the nose.

Quite dark, more than I expected. It has a slight touch of tan where the light gets through near the mocha colored head. Lacing is really nice, it's quite full and pretty much sticks to the glass.

Solid mix of roast, coffee, and chocolate from start to finish on this one. It was a bit strange at first, but I like it. Ends with a bitter note, but it's more like a coffee bitter than a hops bitter. It flows nicely and was unexpected, but good. The carbonation is medium to low with a creamy moderately full body. Smooth drinking and satisfying. A nice local porter for me to enjoy in the future.

My first DC Brau Bottle... Big thanks to Kmccabe33 for a great trade!!... Thanks Korey!!

Poured into my standard slim tulip... good brown head.. little lacing and cap.. the brew is BLACK.

Nose shows dark malt.. hints of chocolate and lesser coffee.... some weird dark fruit phenols with warmth...

Ahhhh... tart... sour cherry... chocolate covered tart cherries... initial signs of infection... Wow.. sorry to be the bad-news guy... but this bottle is probably infected... dark malt is there.. and I already "know" that dark malt can sometime impart some tart properties, but this is too much by a long shot.

Very prickly carbonation... reminds me of the Laughing Dog Dogzilla infection a long time ago...

Things are mild right now... but the bugs are on the run.. I would suspect a mobile bottling line with problems that carried over to this batch. It is only going to get worse.

Don't delete this review... I want to see how things work out.... DC Brau is a good brewery and I expect that this SHOULD be a pretty damn good porter... but right now, find the culprit and take care of business.

Drank on-tap at Lord Hobo, Cambridge, MA
Served in a pint glass

The beer poured a deep, dark brown/black. A flimsy cap of khaki colored froth topped the liquid. The head quickly faded to a clingy ring of foam.

The aroma was interesting initially and got better as the beer warmed. French roast coffee came through strong. Good amount of dark chocolate. Some distracting, metallic notes were apparent, but they dissipated with time. Sweet cream and vanilla notes were detectible well. Touch of smoke and roast.

Like the nose, the flavor profile was quite robust. Rich, smooth and remarkably well balanced. Strong roasted and caramel malts appeared on the front end. Creamed coffee and semi-sweet chocolate notes competed for dominance. Nice shot of vanilla. The beer finished moderately roasty, smoky and dry. The dryness was just enough to keep the beer balanced but not so much as to shock the palate. To my liking, the hops were kept to a minimum.

The mouthfeel was amazingly lush, creamy and smooth. A fine, moderate effervescence lent the beer an amazing suppleness.

The brewer's note states that Penn Quarter Porter falls somewhere between a standard porter and a stout, and this description is spot-on. Porters rarely get any better than this. Definitely seek it out.

Bottled in 2012.

Served in a Delirium Tremens shaped glass.

A: First of all, this sucker is EXTREMELY carbonated and bubby.... sort of like a black champagne. The liquid itself was pretty much abysmally dark as it should be, and boast a whopping 3-4 + finger head that I had to wait a while for the die down.

S: Lots of char, roast, and even maybe a tinge of figs, milk chocolate, and/or molasses. Really nice and unmistakable porter-like.

T: It has a really nice cigar-like roast on the front and back end, along with some fig and cocoa in the middle. There was nothing pork-like or sweet whatsoever here.

M: This and creamy, tempered sweetness, and a nice bit slap on the palate due to the char. The linger left on the palate afterward was just pure flavor, vs. anything sensory that might have made it cloying. That's a true compliment!

O: Man, DC Brau has their shit together, for sure! I've yet to have a bad beer by them... as a matter of fact, I can now name about 2-3 of them that I would call exceptional.

22oz bottle poured into my Devil's Backbone glass. It poured pitch black in color with a thin, frothy, tan colored head to it. Great looking beer of the style. Great head retention as well.

The aroma shows a lot of roasted malts to it with both milk chocolate and dark chocolate coming together nicely. I get a little coffee to it as well in the aroma. Very rich, flavorful and appealing aroma overall.

The taste also really mixes the sweeter, malty flavors with the bitter, roasted ones nicely. Caramel and milk chocolate come out a little more up front, while roasted coffee and dark chocolate linger into the finish. It has some bold flavors, but the balance between them is really well great. The flavors were really good, but I thought they were fantastic relative to the lower alcohol content.

The mouthfeel is very creamy and silky feeling, which I love for the style. Carbonation is moderate. Overall, I absolutely loved it. It was bold, flavorful, balanced, but what really wowed me is it's only 5.5% abv. It definitely has a ll the flavor of much bigger, imperial beers. This was spot on for my tastes, I can't think of many porters I'd choose over this, and probably none under 6%. I really hope they can this and put it in 6 packs.

Rich and quaffable take on a porter. Regional competition to offer a quality porter went up a few notches…

Presentation: Growler from DC Brau's NE headquarters. Small dry board with general growler offering notes. Served in a tulip glass.

A - Black pour with dark brown edges, rich towering creamy ecru head, nice retention, rich surface memory and lacing. Overflowing as the growlers were served but this justifies all the overflow. Quite the perfect looker...

S - Roasted nose, chocolate, dash of coffee, bitter hint...

T - Very nice roasted range, rather flavorful sense, plenty of chocolate malt, roasted notes, nice touches of coffee, small vanilla lingering in the finish.

M - Medium with medium/full hints in the body, soft carbonation with a nice smooth feel, nice soft bitter finish with a long lingering finish.

O - Full of flavor over a rather approachable and quaffable profile. Quite the a nice go-to regional porter. I just wish I could go to it more often...

Notes: What a nice little surprise! Very glad to try this one, which felt left behind in my few visits to the growler fills and taps in the region. Plenty of flavor and quality in what is a rather nice malty companion to the hoppy Public as an early flagship for the brewery. Thanks!
