A trademark beer of the Santa Fe Brewing Company’s master brewer, Ty Levis, the State Pen Porter has every reason to be one of his favorites. It is flavorful, swimming with notes of nuts and chocolate; it is drinkable, so drinkable that it is almost as if pint after pint were drinking itself; and it packs a punch, so much so that its drinkability rapidly gives way to a euphoric intoxication that only a true Porter drinker can understand.
Malts: 2-row pale, 30-37 l. Crystal, 70-80 l. Crystal, Chocolate.
Hops: Cluster, Cascade, Willamette.

Bottle shared by Pinkzambia dark brown clear with some redish highlights. Strange light roast and chocolate aroma. Potting soil and leather. Flavor of ashtrays and cigarette butts. The roastiness is just off. Thin dry palate.

Pour is a black with a large white head. Aroma is a nice chocolate fudgy malt. Flavor is again a decent chocolate malt with a decent char black malt. After the swallow that nice burnt malt is left on the tongue. This was a tasty porter and way better than this brewers pale ale I just had.

This brew is a dark brown color with ruby highlights and a medium beige head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace on the glass. Roasted malt and chocolate in the nose. Medium body with flavors of sweet malt, chocolate and coffee. The finish is sweet with a roasty malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a tan head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is roasted malt and chocolate. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet raisin and a nice lingering dry finish. A decent porter from Santa Fe.

Bottle, thanks zvikar, very dark brown with some reddish taints, aroma of coffee and bread with a touch of dark honey, flavour of coffee and dark chocolate, roasted perfumed bitterness. Solidly made porter.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Very dark brown to black color with a medium bubbly beige to light brown head. Roasty aroma of chocolate, some coffee and nutty hints. Sweet flavor with malt, some roastiness, chocolate and coffee notes and a slightly drier finish. Medium-bodied. A well-made Porter.

Nearly black pour - frothy lace - nose of cocoa, vanilla bean, light woodsmoke, espresso - actually smells pretty damn good - soft texture/carbonation - medium body - taste is much like the aroma, but lacking the smoke - flavor is medium dry, with fairly strong cocoa flavors - light bitterness and roast - very mild acidity - some vanilla on the tail end - subtle but flavorful, with a really nice balance and creamy finish - I dig it...a lot.
