(On tap) Dark mahogany with a reddish glow and a creamy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose. Medium-bodied, lightly sweet, hard roasted malt with a vague edge of chocolate. Almost no bitterness. A soft, pleasant Porter. 010406

Medium-dark brown. Nice chocolate nose with light nuts. Smooth, chocolate taste. Full body. Nice bit of toast dries out the finish a bit.

Draft... This beer rocks!... Sparkling clear, ruby ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Brussels lacing. Vanilla, milk chocolate, alcohol, smoke and coffee in the aroma and flavor. Full-bodied with a very creamy mouthfeel and mild carbonation. Medium-length, bittersweet, dry finish. Excellent beer!

My Bottom Line:
Deep chocolate and roastiness lavish attention on the blackberry fruitiness within. A few love handles to hang on to, chewy malt complexity, and overall drinkability all cooperate to make this a very fine Porter.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the brown-sleeved black gown.
-Supporting hops are felt in the back, agreeing with the friendly roastiness.
-Carbonation’s perfect to let the malts shine and ease quaffability.
-A delicious pint of Porter is always comforting.

On tap at the brewpub.

Black color with tan head & lots of lacing. The aroma is smoky & roasted with fig and some dark fruit (cardamom?) the flavor is well balanced but very fruity & slightly weak & watery in the finish.
