Growler from their brewery in Williamsburg, Massachusetts. It is a dark black color with reddish tinges under just the faintest trace of foam around the bare edge of the glass. Bringing the glass to my nose, I pick up some roasted nutty wafting around. The mouthfeel is full, teetering just on the edge of being considered "watery" but never actually crossing that boundary. A roasty sweetness swims into the flavor and leaves the faintest bit of chalky in the aftertaste. A very refreshing porter.

Apr 18, 2009 Starts with single-finger beige head. Dies quickly to single layer of fine bubbles that do not coat the top. Leaves light, spotty lace. The color is deep brown with an element garnet. A low lever of light seeps through. Seems clear.
Chalky chocolate aroma; mild.
First impression is regarding the thin body. The flavor is the best aspect of this beer: tastes like a Stout Lite--some coffee with milk flavors. No notable hop. Some oiliness. Overall, a mild offering.
