Pretty good porter. The color is a deep dark beer bottle brown with a vanilla head. The aromas are roasted malts and coffees. Taste match the smells; light bitterness and soft hops. Little too much carbonation. 3 of 5 stars.

Solid. Tastes like coffee.

Super mild, easy to swallow, really mellow

Nice smokey aftertaste. Good porter.

Nothing special but also not terrible. Just ordinary and lacks pizazz.

Odell Brewing, Fort Collins, CO Not a great porter - very ordinary beer. Brewer states that this beer is inspired by classic London porters - hopefully the London porters are better than this one. This beer is a confusing mix of flavors. Taste is not great-a real lack of flavors.

Now that is what a good porter should smell like.

Nice smoky porter, low residual sweetness

A: Dark brown porter without much light penetration. Produces a one finger khaki head that thins before long but has decent retention and mild lacing. Poured into pint glass. S: Smoky chocolate and coffee aromas strike the nose. T: Roasted smoky malt with some bitterweet chocolate and a coffee finish that is dry, a tad bitter and clean. M: Medium bodied with minimal carbonation. O: Flavorful and smoky. The latter adds a unique take on the porter. I enjoyed it and will have another.
