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.

FLYING FISH PORTER
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.

ANDERSON VALLEY DEEP ENDERS DARK PORTER
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.
(KONA) PIPELINE PORTER
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.
(ATLANTIC) COAL PORTER
Spectacularly robust charcoal-stained full body pours ebony with ruby-maroon highlights. Dry coffee bean frontage yields to boisterous dark chocolate bitterness thickening hop-roasted toasted oats spine. Glancing walnut coarseness sways black tar finish, yet despite rigid frothy density, clean-watered flow thaws dusky adjuncts.

MEANTIME COFFEE PORTER
Marvelous full-bodied ruby brown dessert beer comes in squat 12-ounce teardrop-shaped bottle and retains delicious Hershey’s chocolate sweetness. Beautiful lactic porter gains complexity as creamy vanilla, burnt caramel, and roasted mocha nicely recede, allowing dry coffee bean roast to become prominent. After initial brown chocolate luster levels off, milky cappuccino bittering strengthens.
BALLAST POINT BLACK MARLIN PORTER
Creamy crimsoned mahogany lactose porter guides honeyed oats waft towards creamy black chocolate frontage and buttery vanilla backdrop. Oily hops embitter roasted barleymalts, securing receded blackstrap molasses, burnt toast, charred wood, and earthen peat illusions. Sweet milky lactose texture, chewy chocolate liqueuer spell, and sinister cappuccino finish are saving grace.
