An American porter; smooth, creamy and chocolatey… our most quaffable dark beer. “Here’s lookin’ at you, kid.”

Dark brown, with just a thin head. There’s a fair bit of molasses on the palate, and that sugariness does lend a bit to the body, to complement the toastier malt elements. Sampled again five weeks later, I found these elements perhaps more pronounced, certainly tastier, and this to be a well-rounded and characterful porter.

Soft sweet barley on the nose, has modest brown body and minimal foam. Flavour is modest barley and nothing else really. Sweet on the tongue. Rather okay but a bit boring.

On tap at Red Bird, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out robust roasted malt, some toasted notes and earthy notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy toasted malt and a hint of cocoa. Dry and earthy, with a bit of rubber. It's alright.

Watery texture and generally watery in flavor. Some roast. Pours black with ok head and lacing. Light bitter finish. Very vague roast but not much body here. Tap at brewery.
