A black ale with hints of cocoa and espresso. Full-bodied and roasty, with mild hop character. A dry finish and moderate ABV keeps you coming back for more.

Dutch Kills, Queens tap ($7): Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee. Taste is pretty standard porter. A bunch of roasted malt and some chocolate. Nice body. A pretty good porter.

Location: Draft at the Pacific Standard, 9/8/12
Aroma: The nose is roasted malts, with some coffee and chocolate
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a fairly small head atop it
Flavor: The taste is heavy roasted malts, light sweet, and dry roasted finish
Palate: The body is medium-plus, with average carbonation, and a somewhat dry finish
Overall Impression: This one was a very solid, roasty Porter. I enjoyed this one, a quite solid example of the style.

On tap at the Cask Bar & Kitchen, Manhattan - 01/03/12. Poured a dark brown with a tan coloured head. On the nose - roasted malts, cocoa, coffee and a puff of smoke. Taste as nose - add a little dark fruit, quite complex for a 4.7% ABV porter. Medium bodied and a smooth finish. Good well rounded and tasty porter for sub 5%!

Tap at Bobbique, Patchogue, NY - more like a stout, considering how robust it is - very full and creamy - sweet notes of chocolate and strongly sweetened coffee make way for a much more dry character through the middle and finish - cocoa - an intense bitterness from black malt and hops arrives late, as does strong roastiness, both of which become a little too strong on the tail end, but otherwise this is really solid.

64oz growler sampled at the DC Local tasting. Pours a watery opaque black with a clumpy, beige head. Nice toasty, bready aroma, nuts, dark malts. Flavor is sweet, brown sugar, malts, toasted bread, light chocolate, lightly nutty, light coffee. Finish is medium bodied, sweet, with a little coffee bitterness. A really solid, session porter.
