Pours very dark brown with a microfoam, tan, long-lasting head. Broad lacing. Good aroma, but slightly disappointing flavor. Not like any other porter I have had--it is less sweet and caramel-y and more hoppy/bitter. The coffee was not as strong up front, but quite strong on back of tongue, in the throat, and long aftertaste. Mouthfeel a lot thinner than I expected. This will not be a "go to" choice for the future. Not "bad;" Just not all that good.

Bitter but smooth

Good porter, not overly coffee-y but still missing something, not sure what

A little too bitter

Not too sweet, like semisweet cocoa powder, which I found to be quite refreshing. Had in Astoria December 2016.

Lots of coffee flavor and semi bitter

Smooth sweet not super flavorful sour

Had at North End Barbecue

Somewhat bitter and would prefer a hint of more mocha flavor

A bitter mocha. Not the sweetness you thought you would get. A little watery. Gets better as it warms
