Porters are considered dark ales with it's malt character from the darker malts. It doesn't have the roasted flavor of a stout. Our porter is very smooth dark brown ale.

Sample at the brewery. Pours black, with a big, frothy, khaki head. The aroma is syrup, walnuts, light coffee, peat, and pine. Sweet and roasted, with a pleasant bitterness. Medium body, with a velvety, syrupy feel. Surprisingly solid.

Tasting at Matt’s
Dark brown color, no head. Dark caramel aroma and flavor, very light roasty flavor too, a bit too dry and weak though. Luckily there is some chocolate too.
Nice.

12 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark brown with an amber tinge with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and dry cocoa. Flavour is fairly robust, with toasted malt, burnt crusty bread and toasted nuts. Somewhat robust in the flavours, but the body is quite weak making this underwhelming. Meh.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a decent looking dark brown color with a soft white to off white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute leaving some light lacing here and there.
The smell had a slightly smooth nutty chocolate aroma that seemed to be lightly roasted.
The taste was mainly sweet yet carried a decent chocolate/nutty flavoring.
On the palate, this one sat fairly light and carried a degree of sessionability to it. The carbonation finished fairly smoothly.
Overall, good porter worthy of having again.

This porter poured a deep black colour with a very small, almost non-existant head that is tan in colour. To the nose there are scents of roasted malt, coffee, caramel and a little cocoa. First sip smooth and rich with a medium syrupy mouthfeel. Flavours of roasted coffee, caramel and molassass most prodominant. finish is sweet with the roasty flavours lingering.

draft at the brewpub - Pours dark brown with a light tan head. It smells of dark roast malt with chocolate and coffee. The taste is of a coffee accented dark roast malt and while alright, seems kind of dull or flat in flavor. It’s medium bodied and a fairly good brew though I often like porters even more.
