This is the most award-winning porter in the country, having won a Gold Medal at the Great American Beer Fest in 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020. It is balanced towards the malt profile, medium-dark chocolate with light notes of coffee on the nose. On the front palate there’s prominent rich chocolate, medium-full bodied, soft sweetness, and finishes with drying toastiness.

Sample at the taproom. Dark brown color with a medium thick tan head that diminishes gradually to a film. Small patches of lace. Roast malt, coffee and chocolate in the nose. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate and coffee. The finish is roasty with a malt and coffee aftertaste. Decent overall.

Pour is a black with almost no head at all. Aroma is a rich roasted malt almost boarding on being burnt. Flavor is a burnt malt with some roast and it leaves a nice char on the tongue. Not rich and thick like some porter’s, this can be a bit watery at times but the roast and char malt are pretty soild.
