12 ounce bottle. Pours a cloudy orange hue with a small white head. A sweet dusty caramel nose. The flavor is pretty smooth and sweet with oranges and light spices. Perhaps a Belgian Pale Ale. Light bananas. Easygoing and pretty nice.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear copper hue with a small white head. A light nose of candied fruity hops. A somewhat smooth flavor if honey, light fruit, some minor bitterness. Pretty easygoing and lacking much of the nowadays common explosive hop flavor. Still, decent.

Very dark brown beer, clear. Light off white head. Typical Porter nose - slightly sour, a little smoky and malty. Semi soft palate. Tangy dark malt, subtle smoke and coffee followed by soft red fruits, Raspberry being the most noticeable. A little unsweet chocolate as well. A very decent Porter.

Purchased at Habersham Beverage Depot in Savannah, GA; enjoyed from my balcony view of the ocean on my final night of vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC. Appearance is a very dark black with no head, looks very thick which is surprising for the style. Aroma of chocolate, peppermint, molasses, smells intense. Taste is also intense, it does have a soy sauce like consistency, goes down relatively smooth and somewhat thick/syrupy. Molasses like flavor dominates the chocolate, slight bit of coffee bitterness. One of the thickest porters I’ve had to date. It’s good but not too good, happy to have tried it, this one almost tastes stronger than the 4.75% ABV states.

Pizzeria Paradiso, Alexandria tap ($6): Pours an amberish colour with a white head. Aroma is vaguely of Belgian yeast, with some fruitiness. There is slight fruitiness, slight bitterness, and plenty of wateriness in this beer. All in all, this beer was too light. I have had Belgian ales that pull off the low alcohol content well, but this is not one of those beers. Still, it is perfectly acceptable.

22 ounce bottle thanks to Hopdog. Pours a very dark brown color with a medium white head. A nice rich nose of bourbon, roast and nuts. The flavor was very good: essentially a well balanced bourbon stout with only light sour notes, some dryness, more dark sour fruit than big sourness. This was good, well balanced.
