Bottled Dec. 11th 2012! Wow this one is getting on! Bought late last Fall as part of a mixed sixpack I put together (I usually forget to bring a magnifier to read the bottling codes) so it was already nearly a year old when I got my hands on it.
a: Black with plenty of clear ruby when seen through light. Inch tall tan head receded to patchy surface foam and dense lacing.
s: Dark ripe fruit.
t: Initially overripe dark fruit with bitter hop bite. Bitterness does not linger much at first but later hangs on. As it warms, a coffee and chocolate roastiness becomes prominent.
m: Medium to full bodied. Not a lot of carbonation tingle.
o: A rich and tasty porter. No doubt the name is to suggest more hops than "foreign" porters, and that seems confirmed by the level of bitterness.

Is this for real? I haven't done a review of this beer i first started banging in the late 90s? Ok. So Avery is/was (I dunno Crooked Stave puts out some bangers nowadays) my favorite Colorado brewery, almost always good, cross section of styles, usually good quality and affordability.
This pours dark brown. Hits a 4/5" beige head, great retention. This is the porter appearance you were looking for. The aroma is entirely roasted malt and bittering hops. Just straight up "new world" porter territory.
Taste imparts roasted two row barley, light chocolate malt notes, light coffee from all that roasted malt notes. Runs around 55 ibu I would guess, bittering hops firm, yet not oppressive or dominating. This is like one of those super consistent and prototypical kind of new world/American porter recipes, tried and true. Its totally out of style in this era of dumping candy and shit into a dark beer where you sludge it up into Chicago pour territory. But if you want a great, traditional, no frills beer to bang yourself at 6/$10, you got yourself a deal right here.
