On tap of course. It pours brown to black with some ruby tints when held to the light. It is topped with a tan, foamy head. I really did not note any distinctive aroma. There was a freshness about it but no chocolate scent as is typical with a porter. The mouthfeel tended to be on the thin side. The taste had bitter and malty air to it along with a decent hop chaser.

Black with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity with licorice. Fruity sweet flavour with toffee and licorice, and a strong roasted charcoal note in the finish

Tap at Millys. Nice deep dark brown almost black and nice. Head ok lace. Aroma is intense fresh dark chocolate- and toasted malts, almost burned malts, slight char- brown nutty malts, and a slight herbal hop kick. A little roast in the flavor- lots of chocolate malts, nutty, toffee, light fruitiness, adn a good caramel middle- nice smooth finish. Great Porter.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at GBBF.
Black brown with no head. Fruity and raw, slight bready malt, delicate roasty notes. Very unrefined. Not great.
