What the brewers say

“Complex notes of biscuit, caramel, chocolate with a silky mouthfeel and velvety finish.”

What our panel thought

“Dark brown with a fleeting light brown head. Classic nutty, porter aroma of coffee, chocolate, toffee. The taste tracks with the nose: baker’s chocolate, toffee, roasted malt. Low bitterness results in somewhat sweet mouthfeel.”

What our editors thought

“Chocolate in the nose, with notes of lavender, grape, and a touch of scented marker—unusual yet alluring. Wide and woody, husky chocolate bitterness in the sip, with a roasted edge. Toothy and full.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

West Sixth Brewing Co Pay It Forward!

“Dark roasted coffee with a hint of dark chocolate and toffee. Asserts its American porter base with a distinct citrus-hops flourish. Some chocolate notes in the main sip really come out in the aftertaste.”

Cerebral Brewing Nordic Noir

Muted nose—rich toffee malt, hints of chocolate, black tea, shards of roast and paper with a woody border. Smooth flavor—flat wash of dark roast and caramel—with an almost creamy, fairly bitter finish. Notes of cedar and spice blend with dark malt. Warming. Rich and complex.

AleSmith Brewing Co Speedway Stout Variant #2: Mostra Coffee & Coconut

“Black pour with ruby highlights and a firm tan head. Reserved coffee-forward nose with some lingering dark fruit notes. Soft and pillow-top malt profile with notes of berry-forward coffee, light coconut, and chocolate. Coffee-like bitterness throughout the sip. Sweet and roasty finish with soft coconut notes.”
