Our robust Porter shows bittersweet flavors of coffee and dark chocolate. It has very complex malt character enhanced by yeast fruitiness.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Appearance is dark brown/mahogany--almost opaque--with small beige ring of head and trace lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, vanilla, caramel, chocolate. Taste is sweet roasted malt, dark fruit, chocolate, with mild coffee-like bitterness. Palate is full bodied with thick, foamy texture, average carbonation and nice mix of bitter and sweet finish. Overall, some complex aromas and flavors with a real nice mouthfeel.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks Shmupi. Dark brown to black with a small tan beige head. Aroma of roast, chocolate, caramel, some nuts, a fruity note. Sweetish flavor with chocolate, nuts, roast, caramel, and a bitterish finish. Medium-bodied, rounded. Good stuff.

Bottle, 12oz. A very dark brown beer, almost clear it seems, and with a small beige head on top. The aorma is quite coffee-dominated, but there’s also a good dash of cocoa powder. Some roasted malts and coffee-grit hints too. It’s medium bodied, semi-sweet and softly carbonated, with roasted malts, cocoa, coffee and some dark chocolate. Lasting roasted finish. A bit harsh this one, too much coffee grit, but it’s far from bad. 150619
