pours brown with beige head.
Aroma had a lot of cereal notes that seemed like Smack cereal box, some roasted malts.
Flavor was on the weak side, plenty of grainy/cereal, roasted malts with notes of chocolate and a watery finish. cgarvieuk (4212), Edinburgh, Scotland

Poured clear dark brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate toasted chocolate malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy sweet toasted flavor with a medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate duration.
Drinkable brew that met my expectations. keepersj12 (810), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA

The aroma is vanilla, chocolate, dark roasted malts and molasses. It smells of pure yum. The taste is very porter like in body and mouth feel.
