Pours very nice dark brownish/black with decent tan head. Aroma is mostly hearty roasted malts with a hint of chocolate and a similar spicy hop aroma utilized in their Holy Moses white ale. Flavor is excellent, full bodied, sweet roasted chocolates and a hint of the bitter hops at the finish. Excellent porter.

Bottle. Pours very dark, not black. Brown head, condenses to very fine head. Fairly carbonated. Smokey, a little bit of chocolate. Mildly hopped.

12oz with the Flying Burrito Brothers playing (Gordon Lightfoot kind of sucks). Chocolate coffee...normally two flavors that I could live without. When combined in the form of ale, we get the Edmund Fitz Porter. While not as crisp as some Brit porters, or as big and heavy as American porters, it finds a nice centerqueef. Overall, very tasty, well-rounded and complex and incredibly easy to drink. Meow. Even tastes good on a hot summer night, just feeding the ol spider, makin that sucker grow. Tonight a grasshopper, tomorrow a centipede. Life is good.

12oz With Gordon Lightfoot playing in the background - Black liquid under light brown head. Chocolate malt to beat the band. Bitter chocolate on the front, fading to malt then a brush of bitter hops. Really well built and well thought out.

Bottled brought back from WV! Pours a dark thick color with a small tan head. Smells of roast and chocolate. Tastes very chocolaty and roast with malts, that lingers on the palate. Good Porter!

Bottle, pours a dark brown with a thin head. Aroma is soft and sweet of chocolate and malt. Pretty clean taste and a filling body.
