Doomed by a love of pitch-black Porters and our Allagash House Beer, we summoned the recipe for Haunted House. Roasted Barley and Blackprinz malt curse this beer with a gravely dark hue. Hopped with Tettnang, Chinook, and Saaz hops, this beer ends with a ghost of coffee-flavored bitterness and hauntingly complex malty palate.

Pours pitch black with a huge tan head. Aroma of nuts, burnt malt. Taste has lots of chocolate, huge cocoa notes. Palate has burnt malt, caramel, dry chocolate. Very good.

Pours a nice dark brown with a khaki head from a can. Faint toffee aroma with some resin. Nicely dry and crisp. Good beer.

Not sure why this pint is a dark ale and not a stout or porter, but it’s a nice pint regardless. Hefty doses of chocolate, dark fruit, and roast, with undertones of caramel, yeast, and berry. Finishes dry with an espresso bitterness. Good beer.

The Aromas are a just right balance between dark roast, dark malt, molasses and a hint of fruit. Flavors are similar to nose, slightly sweet upfront but balanced just right with great carbonation and bitterness. Very good balance overall. Really good drinking dark beer.

16 oz. can from Trader Joe's. Black body with a hint of brown, under a spongy brown head. Light nose of roasty malts, just a touch of earthy hop. Nice taste of a roasty porter, my first of the fall season. Hops are actually keeping the roast in check, giving us, indeed, some coffee notes. A bit of burnt malt, but not one that's distracting.
