Aroma of lightly roasted malt and a hint of coffee, pours a near black with a frothy beige head.Taste mirrors the aroma, with a bit more coffee and also the addition of dark fruits, and some bitterness - it's a really easy drinking porter, smooth and satisfying, with a dry and slightly bitter aftertaste

Grapefruit and sour acid aroma. Flavor is hop bitterness, acidic sour, and underlying tropical fruit and sweetness. Nice overall sour IPA.

Very bitter and resinous, with tons of herbaceous pinecone notes, but with a heavy, doughy yeastiness as well, one that distracts from the grapefruit and lemon zest from the hops. An IPA focusing more on hop quantity than total quality, leading to a clunky, if moderately drinkable, pint.

Sampled on draft this beer poured an almost black color with orange highlights and a large foamy tan head that left very good lacing. The aroma was malty with coffee, cocoa and wood. The flavor was wood, malt, nut, cocoa, caramel and a hint of coffee. Long finish. Medium bodied and smooth.

From the can at Fish Camp on Broad Creek. The nose is chocolate, cinnamon, pecans, and mild coffee. Sweet and malty, with a touch of bitterness. Medium body, with a creamy, syrupy mouthfeel. This is a mellow and overly sweet porter, but fun.

On tap at Holy City, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out intense whiskey barrels, with lots of booze and sweet caramel. Flavour is very harsh and abrasive, with intense cheap whiskey barrel notes dominating, with subdued biscuity malt. The barrels don't come through nicely or subtly. Meh.
