What the brewers say

“Pre-Prohibition porter made with molasses and maize.”

What our panel thought

“Light nose, with hints of toasted breadcrusts and light caramel. The flavor is more rustic and earthy, with notes of black licorice; toffee dominates, heading almost into a smoky thing. Lager-like crispness is there, but it’s a bit thin. Finish is dry—just a hint of chocolate, with moderate roast notes. Sessionable at the expense of flavor.” 

What our editors thought

“A bit of light, rustic smoke and toasted grain in the nose, backed by light molasses. The sip is light, with a quickly resolving dark-chocolate bitterness.”
