This is a classic American Porter, poured on tap it has a good head that stays and leaves a nice lace. It is defined by its chocolate malt, medium body, and smooth mouthfeel. Balanced by the Golding and Columbus hops on the finish is a hint of bitterness. Don’t be afraid of the dark.

Bottle. Roasty vegetal malt aroma, maybe a little nutty. Chestnut with a moderate tan head. Sweet roasty malt - not really chocolate, coffee or caramel - it’s malty, but nondescript. Light roasty bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation.

On tap at the Terminal A Sweetwater pub where the tap poured out (ice firkin cold in a frozen tumbler) with a deep dark body that has ruby red hues and supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, a bit of burnt malts and a touch of sugary maltiness. The taste is similar with sweet malts, black licorice, dark roasted malts and a bit of burnt malts. I think I’m getting some Mt Hood sort of black spicy licorice going on in there too. Decent robust like porter.

Bottle at home in CT. Pours clear, red-brown with a fine, beige cream head. Lots of roasty earth in the aroma, some cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with rich, chocolatey roasted malts, some bitter cocoa, earthy bitterness, mellow ash. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet finish, balanced and fairly rich roasted malts. Great porter. Quite robust with lots of flavor packed in.

Ok, my first sweet water, from a bottle. You know, there certainly is a difference between porter and stout. In some examples you can really tell the difference and in others you cannot. Pretty clean smell of mildly volatile roasted beer. Very dark. At first I think the alky level is too strong but after a few minutes it tend to mellow a bit. Goodly amount of the roasted porter thing in this brew. Yes not bad with itmildly sizzling co2. Leaves some bitterness there residing on the back of the tongue after each big swig. Near bitter personality builds inthe back ofthe throat towards the finish.

Enjoyed on tap at the Sweetwater Bar in the ATL airport in Atlanta, GA while waiting for a delayed flight. Appearance is a very dark brown with a thin white head that laces to the glass. Aroma of light chocolate malt, a bit one sided. Taste is pretty standard for a porter, chocolate notes with moderate richness. Decent and standard, nothing extraordinary about this one.

Bottle thanks to a generous trader. Pours a near clear brown with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet chocolate with backing dark bread and just a hint of roast. Flavor has a nice smooth chocolate note throughout with a bit of backing roast.
