Purchased at Bruisin’ Ales in Asheville, NC; enjoyed from my hotel room on the ocean in Myrtle Beach, SC. Appearance is a very dark cola like brown with a thin off white head. Aroma is very nice and subtle, obvious chocolate malt presence with oats, touch of coffee as well. Taste goes down very smoothly, one of the smoothest porters I’ve had. Chocolate and oats, maybe a touch of coffee bitterness, slightly rich, but mighty damn tasty. This one is awesome.

Purchased at Bruisin’ Ales in Asheville, NC, enjoyed from my hotel room on my honeymoon in Savannah, GA. Appearance is a cloudy light gold with a rich and bubbly white head. Aroma of clove and orange peel, like a nice soap but I wouldn’t state its a soapy smell. Taste is similar to Hoegaarden but maybe not as potent, orange peel comes out a little more in the flavor, malt adds a bit of crispness. Not bad stuff.

12 oz. bottle. Pours black with some amber notes. The head is fairly thick and tan. The aroma is black coffee, burnt malts, and dirt. The flavor is weak and unpleasantly bitter. The palate is light to medium, watery and sticky. This is a pretty awful stout.

12oz bottle pours a translucent, copper amber with some frothy white head. Nose has plenty of malt, biscuit, cracker, a little lemon, some light pear, earthy. Flavor is very malt forward, crackermeal, biscotti, almonds, light caramel, a little red grape. Medium bodied, dry, malty finish. As far as amber ales go... this is a pretty good one.
