Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass every time.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a one finger white to off white foamy head that dissipates within about a minute and leaves a decent amount of foamy lacing.
The smell was roasty and bitter coffee pervading through some light caramel, chocolate and oatmeal.
The taste took those flavors and combined it wonderfully. There was a nice bitter coffee aftertaste that ended up leaving a dry finish.
On the palate, it sat about a medium on the body with a quality that wanted to show a decent sessionability but kinda made me sip it. The carbonation was good for the style and for me as it was slightly smooth and creamy.
Overall, I say this was a good American Porter well worthy of having again.

Bottle at home, from Wegmans Downington, 18/03/14. Black with a good sized tan head that retains well. Nose is roast malt, earthy hops, pine, toffee fudge, light herbal notes, faint metallic. Taste comprises, mineral bite, brown sugars, chocolate, toffee fudge, hoppy backnotes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, sweetish close. Solid enough hopped up porter.

Bottle from Total Wines, Sterling VA. Dark, ruddy brown with a decent, tan head. Easy drinking, with some sweet mlats, dark fruits and touch of citrus, before a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Not hugely robust, but decent. Dark mahogany pour with good head and lacing. Not hugely original but an ok session porter. Dark chocolate. Bitter finish. Average carbonation. Sharp bitter finish. Bottle.

Bottle. Pours clear mahogany with a medium tan head that dissipates leaving nice lacing. Aroma is roasty, chocolate, citrus, pine. Flavor is very similar, roasty but quite hoppy as well, with black IPA like balance between the two. Light sweet, medium bitter. Medium plus body, with a very creamy mouthfeel. This is a nice beer, but it could just as easily be classified as a black ipa.

I can’t believe I haven’t tried this beer til now, what’s wrong with me? Draft. Deep maroon color, thick beige head with good retention. Aroma of a Starbucks latte. Taste is burnt bitter espresso without the sugar, but with ground up bitter 70% cacao chocolate bars from Duty Free. Very bitter and dryish finish. A very drinkable, although non-traditional, unsweetened American porter suitable for diabetics.
