beer_name: Porter
text: Pours a deep chestnut brown (black, from a distance) with dark amber highlights. Half a finger of tan head with minimal lacing. Smell of dark chocolate, mocha, coffee, roasted malts and a light smokiness. Maybe some mint? Dark bitter chocolate, mocha, roasted ,malts with a dry coffee grain finish. Light bodied, smooth, wet with a dry kick for a finish. Very easy to drink. Overall, seems like a decent offering from Southern Tier. Being my first American porter, the difference in the taste and mouthfeel was very noticeable in comparison to other English porters I've had. I think I prefer Fuller's over this, but still a nice fall beer.
