12 oz bottle. Pours a dark, dark brown with a big, aggressive tan head that has great retention and wonderful lacing. Aroma is slight roast with a little chocolate, but there is not a really big nose that I can find. Flavor is rich and creamy with a nice subtle burnt note at the end. There are high spots of chocolate here and there that pop up once in a while. This is one of the smoothest porters I have ever had. This beer is delicious!!! One worth hunting out for sure!

On tap. Deep black with decent tan head, not too much lacing. Restrained aromas, and they never really came through even after ample time to warm up. Still the body was full and toasted with a warm peaty smokiness giving way to a prolonged but tempered dusty hop bittering. Solid brew for sure.

Bottle. Nose is chocolate and roasted coffee. Pours black with a bubblly brown head, almost inky. The flavor is intense chocolate and coffee, very well rounded with nearly no hop presence outside of balance. Thick palate is completely engulfing and intensely drinkable.
