Gravity pour at the brewpub, 8/15/16. Clear dark ruby, thin fizzy tan head, good retention. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, herbal hops, leather. The taste is chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, minty hops, leather. Medium bodied, nearly still.

Sample at the downtown brewpub. Dark brown color with a medium tan head that recedes steadily to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and coffee. Medium-bodied with flavors of roasted coffee, cocoa and burnt malt. The finish is roasty with a malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap at the downtown location. Deep opaque brown-black body, thin cream head. Dry, bitter aroma, with roasted malts and a thin acidity. Body dominated by bitter, charred malts, unsweetened chocolate, and piney hops. Thin and weak. I’m not sure how this batch differs from the earlier batches reviewed here, but I found this porter to be subpar.
