Espresso coffee-flavored porter with slim cocoa bitterness, musty fruit odor, and thick mocha spicing maintains creamy froth but lacks hearty porter strength. Aromatic charred hops merge dissipating dark chocolate and licorice illusions before espresso finish gains syrupy maple undertone.

BERKSHIRE COFFEEHOUSE PORTER
Intriguingly robust mahogany-hued tan-headed porter preserves deeply embittered single-minded coffee bean roast from tongue-tip to bottom-throat. Chocolate latte creaming proffers burnt caramel, maple, hazelnut, cola and espresso supplement, sheltering heavy java influence, off-dry toasted hop subtlety, and creamy vanilla retreat for impeccable black coffee alternative.

SIXPOINT GORILLA WARFARE PORTER
Supremely complex Brooklyn porter brewed with local Gorilla Coffee Ethiopian Yergachette blend second only in exultation to Red Hook Black Hook Double Black Stout (featuring Starbuck’s coffee). Luxurious fresh-roasted coffee bittering perfectly contrasts sweet anise goo, chewy molasses sweetness, and baker’s chocolate resin. Milky cappuccino-espresso emboldens hop-charred coffee ground finish as tertiary smoked cedar, burnt caramel, and hazelnut reinforce rich mocha backbone.
CATAMOUNT 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.
