Dry-bodied mahogany porter needs thicker roasted chocolate resonation. Sourly astringent coffee oiliness girds coarse grapefruit recess to tepid tobacco-dried cola-walnut finish.

Slender dark amber complements smoked malt dryness with roasted mocha-chocolate notion, but weak toasted barley-hop backbone too light-bodied for its class. Brewery defunct: 2008.

Lingered coffee thickness and heavy mocha-chocolate confluence provide early promise, but toasted malts never overcome obtrusive fizz, lowering overall effectiveness. Musty barley dredge picks up tar-like residue, evaporating quickly to chalky powdered chocolate dryness. Just not as definitive as finest porters.

Redolent of nearby Colorado brewer Great Divide’s St. Brigid Stout due to soured coffee grain theme and nutty chocolate variance. But unwanted medicinal astringency, phenol citric-peeled lament, and trashy lactose finish decrease depth substantially.

Withered hazelnut acridity becomes too one dimensional and overbearing for dry coffee and sweet chocolate to penetrate indifferent porter. Questionable dried fruit souring and tannic grape parch leave tart mouth pucker as disturbingly ashen coal-like hop char moderates compromised espresso bittering.

Tan-headed dark brown porter laminates aromatic caramel sweetness to ashy chocolate-prune enrichment and dry coffee bitterness. Fleeting sharp-hopped soft-watered red wine ethereality pleats unobtrusive dank malt finish.

Magnificent black-hued, thick tan-headed, chocolate-scented porter enriches creamy coffee frontage with burnt maple caress. Syrupy yeast linger usurps sugary mocha sweetness adjoining toasted hop bitterness, creating full-bodied chocolate liqueur-styled malt brew. Everything you’d hope for. As label indicates, “aesthetically pleasing and wholly superior.””

Deep tan-headed dark brown porter with heady mocha latte palate, pleasant hop bitterness, and rich coffee finish offers stiff bite. Mellow chocolate undercurrent complements obtrusive heaviness.

Bold, creamy, frothy, ruby-hued London-style porter pours like molasses with cascading bubbles forming eggshell head. Compares favorably to thick chocolate milkshake, as splendid sweet-sour chocolate-vanilla fluctuation succinctly enhances chewy raisin-date overtones. Dry malts, smoked barley, and flowery spiced hops caress chalky mocha undercurrent. As if that’s not great enough, its rich finish recalls marvelous full-bodied milk stouts.

London-styled smoked porter nestles dry chocolate nose next to freeze-dried coffee mouthfeel before sticky yeast syrup and smoked malt thickness engage chalky mocha finish.

Robust mocha-malted bronze porter nearly gives Sam Smith’s Tadcaster a run for the money. Though too watery to hit those lofty heights, roasted barleymalts advance ripe fruitcake sweetness and chocolate-toffee creaminess for rich full body.

Black velvet-bodied, puffy beige-headed off-dry porter not unlike milk stout though a tad oily. Chalky cocoa ambiance, coffee sourness, and pithy oat backdrop enhance creamy chocolate thickness.
