This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice dark brown color with a one and a half white to off white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute in a concave fashion. The lacing sticks finely to the sides of the glass.
The smell has a nice sharp robust roasty coffee blended nicely with some light chocolate.
The taste has a smooth rolling flavorful blend of coffee to chocolate with a nice light maltiness just rolling underneath it all. There’s a decent rich smooth coffee to chocolate aftertaste that leads to a nice smooth sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sits about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation is fairly low in this beer but still good for the style and for me.
Overall, wow, what a nice Porter. Organic or not, I don’t care, I’d have this again.

Pours black with a quickly fading head.Nose shows some chocolate, a little roasted malt, some faint coffee. Appetizing.Relatively subtle flavours, some roast and soft liquorice along with bready and toasty malt. A bit of acidity from the roast.Nice moderate carbonation.

Bottle. A dark brown beer with a beige head that’s soon less than a coat. Aroma of mocha and dark berries. Rather thin. Fairly dry with cocoa, Milo, some dark fruits, little bitterness, slightly astringent at the end. Some OK malty things going on, but it’s all a bit vague and athematic (unless "organic beers often lack presence" is a theme).

From a 12 bottle shared in Avon, NC. Pours a dark cola brown with an ecru head. Malty nose with notes of caramel and toffee. Flavor also includes some coffee. A quite flavorful porter. Moderate to high carbonation. Mouthfeel on the thin side. Mildly bitter finish.

On tap at Petrol Station. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is a roasted malt and raisin. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet roasted malt with raisin and nice light dry finish. A good porter from Eel River.
