Rich creamy long lasting head on an almost opaque black beer. Strong light reveals rich red highlights. Smoky maltiness in the aroma which is deep and soft. Rich chocolatey , malt flavor. Very well done Porter.

Hazy dark brown body with a nice thick dark tan head. Aroma full of coffee and chocolate with roasted malt of course being strong. Medium to Full-bodied; Slightly sour milk flavours with the bitter chocolate/coffee tastes present. Aftertaste has some roasted qualities as well as some sugars. Overall, a great beer to try and another winner from Highland! I got this twelve ounce bottle from Phil (haddon90) in Knoxville, Tennessee...thanks again Phil!

Slightly cloudy orange/amber colour with a nice sized slightly off-white head. Aroma of pine cones and a very strong grapefruity hop...very pleasant! Medium-bodied; Initial piney flavour with a slight citrus background. A bit of malt missing, but overall not too out of balance. Aftertaste shows some slight hop bitterness, but fairly clean compared to the taste. Overall, a pretty good American Pale, better than average and definately worth trying! I was lucky enough to get this beer in an in-person trade with Suttree in Knoxville, Tennessee and sampled it on 3-October-2003, Thanks Phil!

Acquired via trade. My favorite of the Highland brews (so far). Pours a very dark brown with a medium and pretty tan head. Little lacing. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and nuts. Medium bodied with a nice roasty blend of chocolate and espresso (which would be a mocha I guess). Finish is a little nutty and a little hoppy. Pretty good.

Acquired via trade. This was pretty good, deserving of this brewery's "flagship beer" status. Pours a deep amber color with a medium and foamy light tan head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Medium-bodied with an assertive malt flavor and a touch of hops. Finish is sweet but not overly so. Not bad at all.

Acquired via trade. Pours a dark gold color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is pleasantly hoppy. However the hops are more timid in the flavor, and the malt rounds it down even more making for a rather subdued beer. Finish is dry and crisp. Just okay.

Nice colour, but a little light for a normal IPA. Good smell, not too strong of hoppy notes, but seems somewhat balanced. Great hoppy taste, pretty good compared to other IPAs, but not the best!

Very dark burgundy; thin but creamy-looking head; fruity aroma (cherry, raisin) w/ touch of roast. The oatmeal is immediately evident in the creamy body, though a soft carbonation also contributes. Oaty, fruity (cherry), lightly roasty flavour. Fairly sweet, a little bit fatty in the finish (typical oatmeal characteristic). Very drinkable - a cross between an old-school porter and an oatmeal stout.
