This was the first beer that I tried from the "Beers of America Historical Collection" from the Minhas Craft Brewery. The information pamphlet included with this gift set described it as a popular Colonial English style beer with a garnet brown color, roasted aroma and flavor balanced by smooth malt and aggressive hops.

It pours a nice dark reddish brown color with a creamy off white head. You can really taste the molasses that was used in this beer. I also detect hints of roasted nuts, espresso coffee, chocolate and malt flavors. All in all, the Piedmont Porter is a very decent porter beer with somewhat low carbonation, but that makes it go down all that much easier.
