Miles, Brooklyn tap ($6): Pours black with a nice brownish head. Aroma is a combination of roasted malts, chocolate, piny hops, and just a little bit of citrus. Taste is less assertively IPA than it is in many other iterations of this style. This is more of an assertively hopped porter. In any case, I thought it was tasty.

Growler shared by Nimbleprop, thanks! Poured a really nice black color, with a small, off-white, light tan color. Aroma was roasted malts, notes of earthy, fresh hops. Flavor was notes of roasted malts, light hops.

tap at House of Brews. Pours deep dark brown with nice head and lacing. Nose is filled with cocoa and coffee and hops. tastes of piney hops, chocolate, pine, coffee, earth, and rootbeer. its slighty slick on palate and you can feel the dankness on roof of mouth.

Location: Draft at Ginger Man, 4/12/13
Aroma: The aroma is mix of roasted malts, chocolate malts, and citrus/pine hops
Appearance: A dark brown color with a medium sized beige head that leaves mid-heavy lace
Flavor: Well balanced between the medium malty sweetness and medium hop bitterness
Palate: It has a solid feel, that gets just a tinge metallic as it inches toward the dry/bitter finish
Overall Impression: Overall, I thought this was a solid example of the style, but it wasn't a great one. Still though, this is another nice beer from Barrier, and it is certainly worth trying.
