growler. Pours brown with light thin off white head. Aroma of roasted malts, and was rather poor and watery. Taste, roasted malts, weak finish, almost too watery, crisp, light caramel and grains, light touch of coffee with light hints of chocolate. Not horrible but just one dimensional.

Shaker pour @ the brewpub, thought I missed this beer, good to know the new website hides things. Pour has a strong brown head on top of a very dark brown (almost black) body, looks like good stuff. Aroma is roast-y, lightly prune, and your other basic porter elements. Taste is very ashy and a watery type of ash. Its otherwise plain, really they should have called this the Thomas Plain porter, frankly I still have no idea why they named it Thomas Paine, its not like 4th of July or anything, weird. 7/4/6/3/14
Re-rate, much better and fuller flavor than the first time around. Lots of body and chewy prune and roast. Thus, I like it a lot more. 7/3/8/3/15
