Draft/growler from Luckys Market. Pretty dark brown, nearpy opaque with a decent webby head and good retention, Typical porter in all respects. Nose is mild, hints at chocolate and maybe a little espresso. Flavor is similar, light bodied leading to a dry coffee finish, lingering notes of chocolatey/toffee malt.

Very rich deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall pure brown head and a good deal of opacity throughout. Aroma of roasted malt, tons of nuts, seaweed and even a touch of liquid smoke and pure earth/dirt. Medium-bodied; Assertive roasty flavours with the malt coming out at first, showing some good smokiness and a lot of malts coupled with nuts noticeable as well. All finishing with a bit of chocolate and coffee evident at the tail end. Aftertaste is robust and complex with a very nice flavour from the roasty sweetness. Overall, a good and rich porter with a great flavour and a nice profile throughout. Easily worth space in the suitcase, when you find this one! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 01-October-2015 for US$2,25 sampled at home in Washington on 08-May-2016.

Tap @Redlight Redlight, Orlando, FL
Opaque black color, good creamy brownish head. Coffee beans and licorice in the nose. Light to medium-bodied. Flavor has sweet licorice and then some ash in the finish. Easy-going porter.

Bottle sample during RBWG 2015. Pours brown with a creamy, beige head. The character is composed of ashy roast, tobacco and burnt cereal. Medium bodied with average carbonation and creamy texture. Finishes with moderate ashy bitter roast, earth, dry cocoa. Not bad on the whole.
