This is a traditional porter, made to warm the bones. Nearly black in color, Stovepipe Porter has a rich palate and a roasted, hoppy and slightly herbal aroma.

22oz bottle as part of the "World Tour Pack". Pours with a slightly lighter shade of dark brown than their Dubbel. Fading off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, leather, roast, bread and grains. Taste is coffee and ash tray. Medium to high carbonation with a dryish mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small light tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a roasted malt with chocolate and coffee. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is similar to the aroma with a dry finish. A good porter from Otter Creek.

Dark brown. Roasted malt aroma and flavor, standard in that regard, but this has a palate that makes it above average.

12oz bottle-pours a dissipating tan head and black color with red tint. Aroma is dark malt-chocolate/some coffee. Taste is dark malt-charcoal/chocolate/some coffee, secondary hops bite. Right on for style, but not my taste. Occasional. OK carbonation.

Bottle. Poured black with thick tan head, some lacing. Hoppy floral aroma. Rich roast malt flavour. Lekker hoppy finish that lasts. I would definitely drink this again.

The aroma is primarily coffee, backed by some darkly roasted malt. Opaque brown/black color with an off-white head that filmed, but laced at the edges of the film. Medium bodied; moderately carbonated. Thins as the carbonation leaves, but it touches on creamy, and the coffee will not quit. There is light sweetness accompanied by dark roasted malt, and there is enough bitter hop to balance the whole. It’s the best porter I can recall - but my organic database is hard to call up. At this moment all I can say is that it is really very good. Really.

Caramel, hops, and light smoke on the nose. Clear reddish brown pour with a brown head and nice lacing. Tastes rather mediocre, but balanced with charcoal and hop notes. Average finish of smoke and hops. Enjoyable with not much of a wow factor.

12 oz brown bottle with a twist off cap. Another one from that tree huggen’ beer company. Twist the lid for an aroma which is a little ashy. After that the smell is a little like the aftermath of a small campfire. Very dark brown translucent with just a tinge of reddish orange coming thru. Taste impact is complacent with some bitter back of throat burnt sensations. Carbonation is half decent low medium. Tho I don’t see any bubbles within, there is some keen tingle on the back of the tongue. Finish is burny wood back throat with an indignant immediate personality. Comes across thinly as the carbonation fades. Not too bad. Don’t stand up to Yuengling black & tan.
