Wasn’t sure what this beer was supposed to be as I drank it. It seemed too thin to be a porter, not hoppy or malty enough to be a brown ale, and no spices meant no Winter warming. Now I learn it’s a porter; not good. Bland and lifeless, the only signs of this beer truly being a porter are on the nose, giving off a modest roasty mocha vibe, but the flavors never materialize as you sip the pint. (12/7/08)

Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub this beer poured a red-caramel color with a large khaki head that lingered. The aroma was sweet, nutty and a bit roasty. The flavor was crisp fruity hops with a touch of nutmeg, pine, nut and caramel. Somewhat sweet with a long hoppy finish. Medium body. Well done.

On cask at Friday the Firkenteenth at the Grey Lodge Pub. Winter is the time for porters. Pours a mostly translucent black with ruby fringes with a thin white head. Aroma is toasty and sweet. Flavor is big, bold toasted malts, nutty, coffee. Lingering toasted bitterness.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a brown head. Aroma is full of smoked wooden notes with chocolate as well. Flavor has a bit of hops dominated by a more chocolaty and smokey flavor.

bottle - Pours near black with a one finger light tan head. it smells of roast malt and milk chocolate. The flavor is of sweet roast malt and some light chocolate with mild hops and toasted malt lingering in the finish. Is it a stout or a porter or in some ways it put me in mind of a schwarzbier? Whatever, it won’t blow you away, but it’s a tasty brew nonetheless.

Very dark. Spicy, earthy, coffee nose with some liquorice. The body is a little light with light coffee character. Faint earthy and nuttiness late.

Sampled at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a chocolate brown color. Malty aroma with notes of coffee and caramel. Earthy malt taste with some caramel notes and woody, earthy hops. Medium bodied.

Draft. Waterfront Alehouse. Is this a heavy brown ale or a thin porter? The roasted malts with hints of burnt malts steer it toward porterland. Dark brown pour with a lasting tan head. Nose has roasted malts with some notes of coffee and chocolate. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter in the finish evoking tastes of licorice and black coffee. Moderately dry finish. OK porter, but not much else going on here.
