Our twist on the traditional robust American Porter, Shake Chocolate Porter is dark black in color with rich, sweet aromatics and flavors of dark chocolate, coffee and caramel. This unique brew blends five different grains, including Chocolate Wheat, that along with cacao nibs create a devilishly delicious chocolate finish with a velvety mouthfeel.

Dark brown with thin lacy head. Aroma is full of creamy chocolate. Flavour is similar. Texture is a bit thin and it’s a bit too gassy. Otherwise a nice sweet chocolate beer.

Variety is the spice of life or so I hear. Porters just do not really do it for me. So here we go with one called Shake. Obtained through a beer of the month club which sounded like a good deal at the time. I pour it into a tall glass stein and let it settle. It is definitely a pretty dark brown in appearance with a slender top of finely bubbled tan foam. Lifting it to me nose I get cocoa, grain and bread. The taste is initially definitely milk chocolate, wheat and rice and a hint of sweetness. There is a coffee overtone too. It finishes with a slight bitterness. Worth a try. Likely not on my menu going forward though.

Draft at Yard House, Red Rock Resort, Las Vegas. Pours jet black with a beige head. Very chocolatey aroma. Tastes like very sweet chocolate syrup. This would make a great ice cream topping, but as a beer, it’s not that great. Too sweet. Did not finish.

Keg at jet black with a medium off-white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, rich roasted malt, creamy, chocolate ice cream, toasty action and chocolate brownie. The taste is soft, sweet, rich roasted malt, chocolate ice cream, sticky, creamy, juicy, wood, dark fruits, earth, peppery and light alcohol with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Not bad at all.

Wow...the first chocolate beer I've had in ages, and surely the best. I might have to find some others...
Not sweet, but super velvety.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Cigarette City. Appearance is dark brown with finger-width light brown foamy head with fair retention and fair lacing. Aroma is strong cocoa. Taste is strong sweet milk chocolate with light bitter ending. Palate is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and mix of sweet and bitter finish. Overall, it certainly scores high on the chocolate front and if it tasted like this without cacao nibs I’d give it higher marks, but it is pretty much a one-trick pony without any complexity. Good dessert beer.

Thin and mild, with a moderate chocolate middle and a modest mocha fade. Weak on the front and finish. Hey, WOB Savannah: clean your damn tap lines.
