Shallow Grave Porter is dark as night, perfect for a cool evening out in the woods. This a big, dark ale with a complex and rich chocolate and caramel malt character followed by a touch of warmth and light malt sweetness, leaving you ready for more after each shovelful. You will love this so much you won’t have time to dig a six-footer, so make it a Shallow Grave.
We’re sure you’ll dig it.

From a 650ml bottle on 15/7/2012 (shared with Butz - thanks). Pours close to black with a smallish head. Has a strong aroma of chico baby and milk chocolate. The flavour is very sweet with lots more milk chocolate, some roasty malt, and a touch of caramel. Has a slightly thin texture. Nicely balanced, with just a enough bitterness to keep the sweetness in check. A very solid porter.

22 ounce bottle. Pours a almost pure black color with a small off-white head after a bit. The aroma is light chocolate and roast notes. The flavor is nice: vanilla and coffee beans, lighter milk, roast, metallic hops, very smooth. A nice brew, spot on for the style. A bit earthy for sure. This would be amazing on cask.

On tap at Gourmet Haus. Amazing chocolate nose. Pours opaque with big brown head clinging down sides. Great chocolate and coffee follows with a surprising medium mouthfeel. Falls off quickly but still tasty.

Bomber from The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis, CA. Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is sort of chocolate and malt. Near full bodied. Flavor is like dark milk chocolate, with some coffee, and a sort of sour mash burnt malt touch. The sour aspect seems to leave with time, and the coffee comes out more. Finishing dry and a bit earthy (heh heh).

On tap at City Beer. Pours with a near black body with a lasting, foamy, tan head. Aromas are roasty, floral, hoppy, and spicy. Bready and chocolate malt notes last as well. Flavors are bready, chocolate, medium dry, caramel, and spicy. Minimal to barely medium bitterness but what seems like a decently spicy hoppy aroma and flavor profile. Lively bubbles, dry, very mild alcohol (well hidden even), and pretty smooth.
