On tap at Chainline, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out earthy notes, toasted nuts and toasted malt. Flavour is rather weak, with lots of earthy notes, some chalk and toasted malt. Earthy and dusty. Not a fan.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is cocoa and licorice. Medium body, roast, cocoa, light dry finish, good.

On tap at Elizabeth Station with Ash. Pours a dark browh with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt with coffee and some caramel notes, slightly sweet. Taste is the same. Quite plain stuff, but easy drinkable.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound. Rating #2006, the year that brought us The Lost Abbey. I guess this was a damn good year. For anyone who reads my ratings and wonders why the hell I’m adding random year facts, don’t worry, I’m running out of years, and I won’t be predicting the future. Listed as Chain line Barspin Porter. Brown porter doesn’t seem necessary. Any non brown porters out there? ISO. Pours brown with a thin fizz head. Toasty aroma with a steady malt and hint of vanilla. Flavor is a close match, malt forward, and hints of rye? Maybe. Solid porter here. Local beer usually wins.
