Dark brown porter plies ice coffee entry to crisp-watered chocolate malting, but lacks creamy mocha richness of better hop-roasted porters, upsetting established drinkers looking for more robust fare. Brewery defunct: circa 2006.

Coffee grain sourness inundates oily dry-bodied porter, fading to frugal hop-fizzed tedium lowering potential of indifferent roasted barley finish.

Deep roasted nuttiness pierces burnt coffee dryness, dewy earthiness, and milk chocolate reminder to oily finish of ruby-glowed porter.

Chocolate-scented mahogany-hued porter with firm oats-toasted barley-wheat mesh allowing sweet yeast to envelop bitter black coffee finish reminiscent of, but less prominent than, Samuel Smith Taddy Porter. Tingling carbonation tickles nose while light malting softer than frothier porters. Brewery defunct: 2002.

Pour slowly frothy New England islander or risk overt carbonation. Bitter coffee bean profile allows sour chocolate, tangy prune, and tannic grape illusions to offset lactic charge of blackened ruby, rocky beige-headed, bottle-conditioned port. Fuller body texture and richer barley roast would increase worth.

Heavy espresso frontage and sour coffee foundation provide moderate creaminess to full-bodied boldness. Loud black chocolate follow-through leans towards bitter side, staving off frugal mocha sweetness by simmering toffee finish. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Dry black coffee theme allows musty floral fruit nose, toasted malt mouthfeel, doughy yeast sinew, and deep berry seepage to influence chewy molasses-like dark chocolate finish. Inviting as crossover for matured pilsner-lager fans yet timid, watery, and less creamy than full-bodied porters.

Well-respected robust porter boasts tongue-coating bitter coffee usurpation, charred hop resilience, and black licorice finish underscored by variant illusions of black cherry, cocoa leaf, ashy tobacco, and tar. Thick molasses oeuvre is perfect for serious ‘bitter’ fans.

Frothy bottle conditioned mocha-dried porter with pungent roasted coffee persistence and sour chocolate malt extract retains black molasses stickiness to bitter nut finish. Powdery cocoa sweetness and smoked barley conceal blunt fizz-hopped astringency and wavering ashy undertones, decreasing assertive creamy richness a notch.

Though lacking specificity and mired by antiseptic roasted coffee linger, coarse cola-walnut nudge, slim black licorice resonance, and ashen earthy bottom intensify pleasing scorched wood dryness of hybridized Brit-styled (?) porter.

Swell limited edition porter places ’100% Hawaiian kona coffee’ atop dark roasted barley-hops. Creamy cappuccino surge soothes chewy vanilla-chocolate confluence and teensy cocoa dusting to mildly dry coffee bean-embittered finish. Fluffy carbolic fizz nearly overwhelms milky texture.

Dominant iced coffee frontage saturates cascading tan-headed mahogany-hued medium body. Chalky mocha, maple, tobacco, and chestnut illusions endow oncoming brown chocolate insistence as dark fruited finish gathers momentum.
