12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 11/19/2014. Pours nearly opaque dark brown color with a 1 finger dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, honey, toast, dark bread, light coffee/smoke, light herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, honey, toast, dark bread, light coffee/smoke, light herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toast, dark bread, light coffee/smoke, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for as good big. Good robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a good roasted bitterness/sweetness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy, and lightly bready/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a nice robust porter style. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a dark brown with a slightly yellowish brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a honey note that was back by darker malts and a slight roasted note. Flavor was sweet honey with slight roast and some coffee coming through in the finish. The beer had a nice creamy mouthfeel.

Deep mostly opaque brown body with reddish highlights at the edges, thin buff head. Aroma of molasses, roasted malts, and chocolate, reminiscent of cocoa puffs, with very light honey. Light, bitter cocoa puffs body with roasted malts, watery, paired with subtle thin, sweet honey tones. Weak, watery finish. Motor City Brewing Works is currently putting out the worst bottled craft beer produced in the state. It’s great to see local beer in bottles, but these aren’t going to cut it against tough competition in local beer stores.
