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.

Bottle Pours very dark reddish brown with a very thick creamy light tan head. Aroma is a very dark roasted, coffee and carmel. Flavor is strong burnt, smokey wood up front. Very little hops. Smooth thick feel that goes down very easy. Slightly bitter trailer. Very nice. Longterm black coffee after taste. A first tier porter for me. Thanks to Probiere for the trade.

Dark brown with copper hue. Small moka head. Roasted malts and hops come out well. Choclates notes with pleasant west coast hops comming out, nutty , and I agree with with the precedent rater, more like a brown ale in taste. Very pleasant and good body.

I found this to be a very run-of-the-mill porter. Nothing about this one grabbed me and said "BUY a 6-pack of me, to take me home, to take up room in the fridge, to show me off, to savor me, to want more when I am gone." Nope... this one was ordinary. Black, tiny head. Peppery scent... bitter taste, nothing new here... nothing original here. Tell ya what, spend the extra buck on the interesting sounding porter, this one's not worth it.

This is a very nice porter. Dry and hoppy, with additional bitterness from roasted malts. Very dark reddish color, but not quite opaque. Medium bodied (could have used more body).
