UPDATED: NOV 14, 2019 Sampled in a blind taste-test on 11/11/2019. Pours very dark, with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of wet leather. Definite coffee palate.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2019 About average for a porter. On the thin side, slightly lacking malt...but balance is fine. One of the better ones in the variety pack that I got. First introduction from Summit. Nothing really special here, but worth the try.

Part of a flight at Stone Arch MSP. Similar cola black to the Waconia Peanut Butter Porter but with a more stable tan head. Mild dark malt aroma of licorice and chocolate. Roasty and dry. It's ok.

Swear to god these ratings are getting deleted. I know I rated this before. Roasty robust flavor, great price but kinda thin. Makes it very drinkable tho

12 oz. bottle. Pour was black, foamy tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee, roasted malts, cocoa. Taste was moderate bitter, coffee, dark chocolate.

Great beer. Summit rules. Lucky to be in Minnesota. Excellent fall beer wife also likes it.

12oz bottle to tulip. Pours black / ruby red, tan short head. Aroma of milk chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Taste of same with some sweetness...maybe cherry. Finish is cherry, dark fruits, coffee, milk chocolate. Mouthfeel is mod creamy, light effervescent carb. Decent brew.

Bottle @ a charity event. Deep brown pour with a tight tan head. Nose is balanced and easy going. Some mild roasted malt, cocoa, and a bit of milk chocolate. Flavor is similar. Balanced sweetness offset by a dry toasty finish. Light and easy going. Some Toasted nuts and chocolate. Light/medium body with moderate carbonation. Solid stuff.

12 oz bottle in Columbus Ohio. Very dark brown; opaque in the glass. Slightly sweet up front but mildly bitter by the aftertaste. A bit more flavorful than average for style, with plenty of dark roasted malts but only very faint smoke. O: tastes like a big beer, including a hint of higher ABV than actually present.

Pours a dark brown. Not a lot of head. Nothing worth noting.

Aroma is chocolate syrup and coffee. I smell dark malts. Maybe some floral hops.

Taste is again much of the same. Aroma is more of chocolate, taste is more of coffee. Nice balance between bitter and sweet, but leaning bitter.

Mouthfeel is quite smooth. It’s quite heavy. It is bold. I don’t know how drinkable it is from only drinking this one.

Overall it is tasty. A good porter. I just wish it had a bit more in the ABV. Worth a try.
