    a little on the boring/thin side, this is an ok beer, not a great porter, and not one of full sail's best. The funny thing is, their imperial porter is awesome. go figure. nothing bad about this beer, just very underwhelming.

    Pours a very dark brown - almost black - with a decent head but virtually no lace. Scent is of roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, with a hint of butterscotch? Taste is malty yet balanced. Perhaps a bit astringent. Roasted malt and cocoa are present as are a touch of hops. Moutfeel is thicker than most Porters and has a nice mineral feel to it. Overall this is a very nice Porter.

    I was immediately turned off by the snow boarders on the label, but I can't resist the chance to sample another porter, so pour I did. Very luxurious brown color with glimpses of cherry and rosewood under a thin but still lace-worthy head. About what I hope a porter will look like. Aroma is smokey, roasted, and deep, like driving by a Nestle factory, very enjoyable. First taste is complex for a porter with seemingly multiple levels of smokiness interspersed with appropriate bitterness for the style. But then it gets sour, like the subtle taste of almost spoiled milk in coffee. Actually, the beer dissipates to watery blah before you can swallow it. What a let down, but not totally shocking coming from Full Sail. They should have put more effort into the beer, and less into marketing research on the new labels.

    Totally black color. Small white foamy head. Aroma is choclately. A lighter bodied porter. Chocolate roasted malts. Flavors are chocolate, toffee, caramel and a hint of vanilla. Good balance of malts and hops. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. New label for this beer from Full Sail. I wonder if its their new label or just for their new beers.

    Poured w/ an enormous tan head & a brown body. The head was long-lasting. The body of the beer was very thin. Slight caramel notes on the nose & palate.

    The appearance of this beer is aof a dark treacle..almost black cold coffee..very small head which does leave a slight lace down the glass. Smell was not the greatest I have smelt in a porter..i found it a bit metallic. Taste was very nice..after being dissapointed by the smell i was surprised the tase was nice a little bitter but not too much...nice sweet toffee after taste. G sn good on the mouth could use a little less carbonation (IMO).

    This beer was malty throughout, in the aroma, and all phases of the taste. It had a subtle sweetness at the beginning and middle and increased at the finish along with a hint of roastiness. Not my favorite Porter, but not bad either.
