Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Small head on a hazy gold body. Light hop aroma with some thin malts. Well balanced flavor with a dry finish. A bit thin.

Fiery hazy red-brown translucent body, thin off-white head. Rich chocolate and toasted malts proliferate in the aroma, with hints of marshmallow and grape. Earthy and chalky. The body opens with a short-lived tart bite, and is quite chalky, chocolatey, and toasty with a sweet vinous character. Lingering earthy hops finish. A refreshing complex yet subtle porter. Thanks bu11zeye!

Bottle. Light sour milk, molasses malt aroma. Opaque black-brown color with small head. Smooth creamy chocolate malt flavor with a light hops finish. Lighter body. Smooth and clean tasting if a bit on the light side.

Bottle. Cherry-apple and hops aroma. Copper color with small head. Sweet cherry malt flavor initially with a moderate bitter hops finish. Nothing unpleasant but pretty much an average micro - Not unlike SNPA.

2004 bottle @ the gathering. Deep yellow-gold, mostly clear, small white head. Aroma of metal, hay, floral hops, sour yeast. Flavor is metallic and hoppy, very flowery and bitter, with no malt to speak of and then a watery death for the finish. Medium-light body, over-carbonated. Can’t find much use in drinking this.

Thanks to Matta for sending this one! Looks like a good Porter should, dark, almost black with ruby highlights. Rich, creamy, off white head. Aroma is chocolate cookie and coffee. The palate is soft and creamy with a nice chocolate malt flavor. A well done Porter.

Copper colour with orange highlights and an off-white head. Nice aroma of hops, malt and even some nutmeg. Medium-bodied; Strong medicinal taste initially, followed by some malt and stale hops. Aftertaste has more astringent taste and a sort of hoppy ending. Overall, a good beer...needs some work though! I owe a large thanks to Mabdoney for this one...cheers Matt! I sampled this 12 ounce bottle on 02-November-2003.

Dark brown colour, about 95% opaque with only a little of the brown showing up when held to a light. Thin (1 centimetre) tan head. A very nice aroma consisting of coffee, pit fruit, roasted malt and even a subtle sweetness. Full-bodied; Strong coffee flavours all the way through breaking down to some malt characteristics followed by a bit of the sweetness (primarly from raisins). Aftertaste actually fairly bland compared to the depth of the taste and only minimally bittering the mouth. Overall, a great porter, most likely one of the best i've had. If you can find this beer, definately pick one up...but as mabdoney mentioned-'He must share the wealth' and that he did...I got my twelve ounce bottle from him in a trade, thanks Matt!
