COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Named for the ridiculous 4 foot dirt pile we had to put our brewery on to get us out of the FEMA-designated 100 year floodplain (no-one can remember this part of Spearfish ever flooding). This robust porter is black in color, is medium-bodied and has a rich, roasted malt flavor ending with a pleasing hop flavor and mild hop bitterness.

Dry porter, and heavy. Not so drinkable, non offensive. Can from the state. Like more mouthfeel.

2.1
12oz can. Opaque brown-black body. Definitely some underlying oddness, but the heavier specialty malts sort of cover it up...well not really. Has that warming acidic stomach acid disgusting tone which just kills it. Like an infected Baltic Porter. Pretty bad.
3.5
Intense dark chocolate, cacao, charcoal. Clear, very dark brown, tiny, creamy, beige head. Light sweet. More dark chocolate, cacao, dark roast coffee, dark malts, soft carbonation, medium bodied. Decent. Keg at GABF17, Denver.
3.1
Pours very dark brown with a garnet hue. Light, toasty dark malt in the aroma with a hint of something kinda lactic. Has a nice dark breadiness to the taste but is sweeter than most porters. Slight burnt character. Little to no hop bitterness or flavor. Semi-full, slick mouthfeel. Finishes fairly dry.

Roast and some chocolate. Comes off a little light like khakis though. Black pour with decent head and lacing. Some caramel in otherwise bitter finish. Can.
3.7
Sample from can at GNBF. Pour was dark brown, tan head. Aroma was chocolate, roasted malt. Taste was mild bitter, roast malt, light coffee.
