Very dark. Sweet chocolate, dark fruit, faint roasted notes, some light sourness in the lingering finish. Medium bodied. A very well put together porter.

On tap. Pours black with very short tan head. Aromas roasted grain and black coffee. Flavors of ground coffee, dry acidic roasted barley, and powdery dry nuts. Nice

6oz at brewery. Very dark brown, almost black. Tan head, sticks around. Very roasted porter. Can easily be called a stout. Mild acidity and roast/fume is followed by a light "dry stout" like finish. Leaves a dry, lightly malt bitter, fumey finish. I could use a less roasted version.

Draft - Lots of dark roast, molasses and some toast. Jet black with a nice light brown head. Tons of roast, dark chocolate and roast. This is very solid.

On tap at Flyer's Restaurant, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, some dry cocoa and a touch of dry coffee. Flavour is quite nice, with roasted and toasted malt, some dry cocoa and again a touch of coffee. Quite flavourful and robust. Easily the best of Flyer's mainstay beers.

Draught at brewpub
Black color with small creamy brown head. Very similar to the Brown Ale, just a bit bolder and more chocolatey, but the roasted malt and coffee dominate, and this is more Stout than Porter.

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting, Sept 2013 - Pours very dark brown and smells of roast malt and coffee. The flavor is much the same and in a good way. It’s full flavored and full bodied, a straightforward porter with a pleasantly lingering roasted finish that’s overall quite enjoyable.

Sample at Hale’s in Seattle. Brownish-black pour with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Rings of lacing. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Light body with flavors of roast malt, caramel and a touch of piney hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

Pours opaque black with a tall tan head. The aroma is smoky with raisins and cocoa. The flavor has a off putting burnt note right at the start. Roasty and bitter. I’ll pass on the roasty burnt malts in this one. I prefer a sweeter, smoother style of Porter.
