Gorilla Warfare Porter is a silky smooth porter made with 40 lbs of Park Slope’s Gorilla Coffee Ethiopian Yergacheffe blend, a Fair Trade and Organic Certified coffee roasted in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The coffee has winey, spicy notes with hints of baker’s chocolate. Combined with patent malt, the signature of many great English-style porters, this is one silky smooth, coffee-rich porter.

Tap at Barcade. I had the 2008 vintage. Very decent but it didn’t live up to my expectations. Everything about the beer was a little light. Aroma of slightly roasted malts and mild coffee. Flavor was pleasant, some malty sweetness, tasty notes of chocolate and coffee. Clean with a hint of bitter bite on the finish. Sort of like a Brownstone with some coffee.

Tap @ Mugs, poured into a 12oz Blue Point glass from their cask fest... whats up with that? I do not think that Sixpoint made a fresh batch of this so I think this has just been stuck in distribution (or bar) since December. This is probably why I was not as impressed as everyone else by this beer, for my tastes Sixpoint is always best fresh. Either way this is as black as night. Aroma of prune-y, watered down coffee and dark malts. Taste those aspects and is a bit weaker. Kind of got a bit of a watery feel from the body. I would love to try this fresher (if they ever make it again, which I doubt).

Draft at Ginger Man, NYC. I was impressed with this porter. Appealing pour with a light brown head and dark brown body. The heavy aroma has lots of coffee and sweet chocolate in it. Roasted malts and smoke fill out the profile. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Moderate acidity, too. The medium body had a watery texture and average carbonation. Dry finish with a slightly metallic aftertaste. Very enjoyable.

[growler] Oh...hell...yes! - sixpoint just put my favorite coffee in the world into a beer - what’s not to like? - turbid brown beer, with a small, fizzy head - a coffee explosion in the nose, with some background cocoa, plum, tobacco - the coffee flavor is indeed intense, and there is an oiliness to the beer that may well be the coffee bean oils - slightly creamy, with a light vanilla sweetness, some cream - amazing balance of sweetness and roast, with extreme, but not overpowering coffee flavor mixed in - wonderful stuff.
