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.

Expressive dry-bodied dark brown porter stays chewy, if not particularly rich. Charred hop roast affects oily burnt coffee dryness countering caramelized black chocolate-y cocoa malting. Sour espresso bean finish overrides earthen minerality and wood-charred tobacco chew tarring. Black cherry and cola nut illusions waver. Sticky lace coats glass and smoky ash aroma persists.

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.

Funny Mormon jab on label and deep ruby translucence are finest assets of light-bodied polygamist. Day-old iced coffee souring, murky raisin dessication, dry walnut tease and minor wheat husk stalled by sulfuric astringency barren mocha finish can’t redeem.

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.

Bittersweet maple-induced coffee-flavored winner. A bit light, fizzy, and unassuming despite blackened hue, but pleasant caramel-chocolate creaminess and cocoa backdrop firm up gently efficient finish.

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.

Burnt coffee pervades creamy chocolate malt sweetness and dry hop bitterness. Light graining underlines mocha thickness without sacrificing robust nature. Full-bodied lagerheads should give it a try. Brewery defunct: 2001.

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.

Frothily creamed brown-headed swamp-scented port with powdered cocoa dryness, caramelized mocha splendor, roasted barley-nut surge and maple oatiness deepened by pine-embittered licorice-licked prune-soured black coffee finish. Mired only by oily coffee grain bottom.

Lovely silken mahogany porter brings initial chocolate-cinnamon pinch to coffee-roasted barley-oats moderation. Dry nut and piney resin affirm burnt wood backdrop as earthy hops conceal fig-date spell. On tap, creamy chocolate-milked ice coffee depth and plush hazelnut-walnut respite darkened by charcoal nip.

Swell (formerly) limited edition porter places ‘100% Hawaiian kona coffee’ and maple-sapped molasses sweetness atop dark roasted barley-hops. Creamy cappuccino surge soothes chewy vanilla-chocolate-coconut confluence and teensy cocoa dusting to mildly dry coffee bean-embittered finish (with wavered black peppering). Fluffy carbolic fizz nearly overwhelms milky texture.
