This is our little Pie Star out of the group (it's a thing we made up, just go with it). Our brewer outdid himself. This dark delicious craft beer gets all the attention and rightfully so. A traditional Brown Porter brewed with fresh cherries and Madagascar vanilla beans, the Piehole is oozing with dark chocolate flavors and a sweet tempting aroma. It tastes like yo momma's pie, only better. So shut up and just put it in your piehole!

On a four Beer Flight on 2nd April 2025 while in the Best Brews Taproom (Lake Havasu City) I had two different flights during the session. Dark brown with a beige head. Pretty sweet with vanilla and cherries in both the aroma and taste. Interesting little number all round and new brewery to me too.

Draft at the Yavapai Tavern in the GC. Black with a creamy, beige head. Aroma of cherry pop and chocolate. Taste is mildly bitter with a roasted tone. A cherry sweetness lingers underneath. Medium bodied, mild carbonation. Ok, but the cherry borders on cloying.

Pours dark brown with a small tan head. It smells of roast malt, coffee, and cherries. The flavor is pretty well balanced with roast malt m, chocolate, and cherries. I’m not getting vanilla much, if at all. I wish it was a more robust porter, but it’s pretty good.

12 oz. can from Total Wine, Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a clear mahogany color with a HUGE beige head and annoyingly great retention. Good lacing. Dark fruit and malt aroma. The flavor is predominantly dark charred maltsand a little chocolate, with the vanilla and cherry lending support in the finish. Medium body with a semi creamy mouthfeel. Not bitter. A good porter that would be better without the cherry and vanilla in my opinion.

Poured from 32oz crowler from the brewery thanks Stacey, black with a nice tan head. Aroma is cherry cola vanilla chocolate and light roast. Taste is delicious, a nice sipper where the flavors match aroma.

32 oz. Crowler from the brewery. Dark brown color, thin head. Aroma of Mild cherry and chocolate. Hint of vanilla. Flavor is a direct reflection. Almost a cherry cola character. Body is medium. Pretty decent.

Taster at the Grand Canyon Winery. Pours black, with a big, foamy, tan head. The nose is espresso beans, light jam, roasted peanuts, and molasses. Sweet and lightly bitter. Medium to heavy body, with a sharp, sticky feel. This is a nice, lightly fruited porter.
