Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 20A). Can 35.5 cl - Batch 43685C (BB: 08/12/27). AROMA: medium to medium-high roasted malt notes (dark chocolate, light charcoal and some roasted bread crust). slight hop notes (pine) and faint dried prunes. APPEARANCE: very dark ember color and clear. medium light brown head, creamy, with good retention. TASTE: medium-high roasted malt flavor (coffee-like, slight chocolate and charcoal) and some roasted bread crust. slight hop notes (pine) with a medium-high bitterness. finishes dry and somewhat burnt. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with medium carbonation. slight astringency. OVERALL: an American Porter with nice notes and a prominent burnt character.

Bottle (9/20/25) from Eddy's Beverage Center, Saratoga Springs. Clear, dark brown with garnet hues, light sparkle, ephemeral head with no lacing. Aroma is roasted malt with toffee, molasses. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Decent, non-adjuncted porter.
