Pours medium brown with thinnish white head that dissipates quickly. Notes of caramel, chocolate, roasty. Tastes a bit more subtle, with nuts, a bit of chocolate, coffee, and mild bitterness. A little thin for my taste in porters, but pretty good

Dark dark red-brown (almost black) with a small tan head. The head dissappears too quickly. Aroma is quite nice; chocolate and a hint of fruit. Flavor is mild and chocolatey with not too much hops. Palate is average. medium bodied, but a tad bit too bubbly. The flavors are well balanced here, but there is not much character.

Poured from 12oz bottle a dark brown/black with large tan head. Aromas of roast malt, grain, molasses, coco powder and some dark fruit. The flavor has roasted malt, smoke, coffee, caramel and bittersweet chocolate. The palate is nicely balanced between dry and semi-sweet with a soft smooth bittering throughout the mouth. A very nice sipping beer.
