Tap at Liar's Bench Brewery, Portsmouth. Color is slightly cloudy golden with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Grain, some sweetness and malts. Little bit of attacking but clear.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5

Sample from the source. Dark brown bordering on black with a rich tan head that persists. Smokey earthy phenols against a thin caramel and chocolate maltiness. Light earthy hops. Could have used a bit more body or sweetness to counter the smoke imho, but pretty tasty as is.

Sample from the source. Dark yellow in color with bits of hazy and a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Bready resinous earthy citrus and light fruit with a hint of astringency. Not bad.

32 oz. growler from the source. Nice aroma of mild molasses, light smoke, light chocolate. Flavor follow the aromas and is much bolder than I was expecting for a porter at 5.1%. Body is a tad lean but that was to be expected. The smoke, molasses, and chocolate are pretty well evacuated.

4 oz. sample. (Could drink a lot more of this) Nice pitch black liquid, thin off, lasting white head. Aroma is a nice level of chocolate, weak ash, mild roast.

Good roast for the backbone. The chocolate hits my palate second with a light yeast toward the finish. Creamy mouthfeel with a very nice velvet smoothness. Very well done.

Sampled at the source. Slow, Steady carbonation in a crystal clear gold. Aroma is mostly all yeast with a mild hint of a floral note. Flavor is a exact copy of the aroma. Good flavor for a super light gravity. Could drink a ton, extremely light

Sampled at the source. One of the brewers here is a baseball fan. I love the name! Bravo! Ok... deep brown in color, aroma leans on nutty with a lot of English influence. Deep earthy malts, bread, weak chocolate hints. Body is respectable (maybe a tad flimsy). This is alright.
