Pile O’Dirt Porter falls into the robust porter category. Characteristics of this beer style are a dark (almost black) color with a creamy tan head. The aroma is of sweet malt with a hint of roastiness reminiscent of cocoa. There are notes of chocolate and coffee in the flavor balanced with malt and caramel sweetness. This is a medium-bodied beer with moderate hop bitterness and negligible hop aroma and flavor. Pile O’Dirt Porter is brewed with the finest quality pale ale malt with Munich, Extra Special, Blackprinz and Chocolate malts added for color and flavor adjustment. Perle and Willamette hops are added to balance the sweet maltiness of this porter. Original Gravity is 15.2°P and alcohol by volume value is 6.0%.

12oz can. Opaque brown-black body. Definitely some underlying oddness, but the heavier specialty malts sort of cover it up...well not really. Has that warming acidic stomach acid disgusting tone which just kills it. Like an infected Baltic Porter. Pretty bad.

Roast and some chocolate. Comes off a little light like khakis though. Black pour with decent head and lacing. Some caramel in otherwise bitter finish. Can.

Thank you for sharing tderoeck! 355 ml. can sampled @ RBBSG17. Dark amber, little head. Nose is herbal leaves, bark, roasted, almost smoked. Far too herbal bitter, thin roasted, low burned malt, burned coffee. Weak.
