Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a medium beige head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is oak vanilla and roast. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet vanilla and light smoke with nice light dry finish. A good porter from Backcountry.

22 oz bomber purchased at Antlers in Frisco, Colorado. Best before N 10 marked on the bottle. Pour is a hazed brown black with a light tan two inch head. Aroma is mild roast, muted pine and a big soda mineral element. Taste is the nose, nice balance between mild roast and dry mineral with a hint of floral pine hop. Palate is medium to thin, crisp, dry and drinkable. Nice enough.

Although this wasn't an outstanding brew, it's hard to make a Porter that is totally bad. This just needs a little more body & mouthfeel to suit me. The aromas were good and clean but could have been more at the front. The ratings perhaps suggest some variability batch to batch or a good beer that has a shorter peak on the shelf.
