Pour was jet black and had medium carbonation. Aroma was interesting for a porter, initial stong hop aroma with a little bit of malt. Flavor was very good, crisp toasty malts, hops, molasses, maple and a rich and smoky finish. Overall a very good FFF offering that is likely be enjoyed by most. Naka (526), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA

Dark dark brown with a big off-white head. Roasty aroma with plenty of malt and dark fruit. Robust flavor with lots of roast and some coffee. Tastes overly carbonated. Probably meant to be imbibed sooner than now. Flavor holds up pretty well though.
