12 oz brown bottle with a twist off cap. Another one from that tree huggen’ beer company. Twist the lid for an aroma which is a little ashy. After that the smell is a little like the aftermath of a small campfire. Very dark brown translucent with just a tinge of reddish orange coming thru. Taste impact is complacent with some bitter back of throat burnt sensations. Carbonation is half decent low medium. Tho I don’t see any bubbles within, there is some keen tingle on the back of the tongue. Finish is burny wood back throat with an indignant immediate personality. Comes across thinly as the carbonation fades. Not too bad. Don’t stand up to Yuengling black & tan.

Medium size light brown head, average retention. Dark brown with a red hue. Roasty, hoppy nose. Medium body. Dry, roasty flavors with a hint of smoke. Finish is dry roasty, fruity. A decent porter.

2nd Sample of my New England run. A solid porter. Not top of the line, but decent and very well balanced. Nice roasty malty flavor with a good hop finish. I would get this again, but don't think I've seen it where I live.

Pours out in a dark brown colour with a low fluffy off-white head. Roasted almost burnt aroma of nut-shells, dark chocolate and coffee. Medium-bodied with notes of toasted malts, licorice, nut-shells, mild peat and old coffee. Medium-bitter edgy finish of grass, old coffee and dark chocolate.

Pours a dark opaque chocolaty brown with a fairly thick pale tan head. Aroma is oily, smoky and yeasty, what I expect from a porter. Flavor is smoky with a firm undertone of chocolate and hints of toffee and coffee. Texture is smooth and fizzy, just a bit on the thin side but still pleasing.

damn easy to drink... has a nice headring... dark black, like a charcoal chunk like a nerf football in the hall closet .. simple ... no real roast qualities .. i could drink a sixer of this in 30 minutes then eat a whole italian cheese bread by myself, smoke a bowl, the pass out ... "peter, who peter?"

Poured black with a dark Khaki head. The aroma was of coffee with hints of nut. Decent mouth feel but lacking a bit of porter richness. The flavor was of coffee with lots of roasted malt. This is a good porter . It goes particularly well with cheddar cheese.

Came in a "Winter Brews" gift box from World Market which I received as a Christmas gift. Pours a nice brown color with little to no head. Smells like old coffee. Tastes pretty much the same. Not much flavor. Thin and bitter. Disappointing. Only positive is that it was free. Too many good porters out there. Probably won't revisit.

great balanced beer...not sure why this one is so low. it's pretty stinkin good. definitely above average, but i guess there's a lot of competition in this catergory.
