| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 13, 2009 Pours black with plenty of brown and red highlights and a substantial khaki head. Aroma is dark chocolate, deeply roasted coffee, nearly burned bread, nuts, herbs, and pine (quite strong hop qualities). Tastes of dark chocolate, highly roasted coffee, earthy leafy hops, some herbs/pine, dirt, and char. Finishes dry with strong roast and substantial earthy, lingering hop bitterness and flavor. The flavors are pretty big for the style, but the body remains nearly light and it’s quite easy to drink. If you like New World Porter, you’ll like it’s stout cousin. Now, why doesn’t this 6 pack come to Texas? rader58 (183), Leawood, Kansas, USA
