This spiced organic porter was brought back from Las Vegas, by Lilihel. Pours a dark brown, cola-like, with a beige frothy head, good retention and somewhat creamy lace. Ginger aromas with notes of grain, cinnamon and outside green, from the hop. Mild creamy mouthfeel, but a little on the thin side. The hop seems to take over in the taste, still on the mild side, but with the light porter characteristics, and the spices showing a little in the finish. Roasted malt in the aftertaste with the hop lingering. Wish the spices and porter-side was a little more powerful, than the hop, and the palate a slightly heavier.

12oz bottle. From the Party Source. Nearly pitch-black with thin white head that left spotty lace down my tulip. Smells does remind me of gingersnap cookies or the ginger bread men. Flavor to me is honestly more chocolate than gingerbread, yet the gingerbread shows itself in a subtle way in the finish. The body is for sure a porter, rather then a stout. Sweet yet not cloying. This is pretty interesting, not something you want on a regular basis but a nice holiday brew without doubt.

Yes, smell is sorta honey basilly. Darker than expected from a bottle. Nice quarter inch head. Taste is a little too much of some kinda herb, herb. YEs mild spices in there. I was expecting a form of mild beer but this don’t hide the alky well. More than I expected. Why was I expecting a mild wheat thing and then kicked in the jaw? Massive mixalot but not in an over the top way.

12 oz bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a medium off-white collapsing lacy head. Aroma consists of honey mostly with basil a little faint, but there. Taste is sweet, herbal and minty with a dry and lightly tart finish; reminiscent of herbal tea. Interesting and different than your average summer beer.

Tap. Pours hazy orange with a large white head and decent lacing. Aroma is pine, grass and caramel. Flavor is pine, bread, metallic notes with a light bitter metallic finish. Not a good example of the style; muddled and unbalanced.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a shaker extra from JStax. Pours clear amber with small off-white head. Some small bubble lacing, light body, and strong basil aroma. Taste is caramel malt, strong herbal basil, and a hint of honey. Not that good.

12 oz bottle. Thanks, Brenn79. Inky black pour with a medium dissipating tan lacy head. Aroma is roasty coffee--not picking up the cocoa. Taste is nice and roasty. Again, the chocolate is negligible. Creamy, chalky mouthfeel. Pretty good, but they should have amped up the chocolate if they’re going to call it a chocolate stout.
