A very well balanced and full-bodied, dark ruby-brown ale,
Drayman’s Porter is slightly sweet with notes of chocolate malt
and mocha married to a delicate hop bitterness and flavor. Its
complex aroma and smooth taste embody all that a dark beer
should be. Enjoyed by itself or with a hearty meal, this robust
Porter will satisfy. Don’t be afraid of the dark.

Sampled at the Ohio Labor Day gathering, provided by me via trade with OldGrowth. Deep red-brown body, very thin light cream head. Coffee, light chocolate, and DMS/butterscotch aroma. My notes for the flavor are somewhat unintelligible, but coffee and roasted malts dominated the palate with slight hints of DMS that thankfully didn’t overwhelm the beer. Medium-bodied, roasty, and fairly simple, yet quaffable and tasty. I can barely read my numbers, but I think I’ve transcribed them reasonably well...

2004 draught @ Redbones. Pours a deep chocolate brown with some dark beiges and amber tinges on the sides. Good light mocha colored head and a pretty strong coffee-roast aroma with hazelnuts and light chocolate. Flavor is chocolatey, moderately coffee-like and has a smooth roast that is pleasant and not too bitter or dry. A great balance of not overdrying the porter with no huge sticky sweet malt makes for a very drinkable porter. Body is not ultra thin, for once, with this brewery. Actually a bit of oaty-like chewiness and some chocolate stickiness. Light tinges of hops on the finish, more cocoa and roast.
