12 oz. bottle purchased @ Trader Joe’s. Dark brown color, with a thin layer of white head. Aromas of molasses and toasted grain. Flavor is charred barley with notes of dry roasted malt and grain. Thin in the mouth with a watery texture. Weak sourness in the finish. Drinkable, but below average without question.

Charcoal nose with sweet raisin and fudge accents, cola as well. Cola colored, medium yellow head. Dry, and fizzy. Swirling tree bark and grassy hop flavor. Potting soil finish. Overcarbonated, but that is easily remedied by aggressively pouring into an oversized mug.

Pours mahogany tinged black into a shaker. Mocha head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant sheets to pancake surface. Mild caramel aromas. Dry with mild milk chocolate turning sharp in the mild earthy bitter finish.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at the Trader Joes in Kansas City, Missouri. Labeled as "KBC Porter", Kennebunkport Brewing Co. Best Enjoyed Before Jan 13 notched on the label. The pour is a darker brown ruby, with a one inch tan head that is pretty foamy, but lasting. The aroma is light vanilla, cream, red apple fruit sweetness, and a bit of roastiness. The taste has more of a roast forward flavor, which is a bit charred and ashy in addition to the roasted Barley. Under the char is vanilla cream of the nose, and the finish has a bit of a chemically saccharine taste. The palate is thin to medium bodied, high carbonation level and a char saccharine finish which really didn’t work for me. Overall, just ok.
