Medium to light body with some astringence on the front. High drinkability. But an average porter. Duhast500 (201), , Massachusetts, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
The color is a dark black with almost no light being let through. There is about two fingers of foamy light brown head with some nice lacing left on the glass.
The smell is a slight bit roasty with some malty flavor amid some slight nut flavor.
The taste is some what coffee in flavor, some nice roasted malt and toffee flavor.
The feel of this beer is pretty light for a porter but is still medium bodied.
