Taste - holy crap, so much tobacco! I feel dirty just having tasted this! Like a beer from an ashtray. medium body. So earthy. Almost too much tobacco, but what an original and enjoyable creation.

Big chocolate orange aroma. Really rich roasty body. Great roasty taste too. Carbonation pleasant, and a lovely smoothness to the palate. Finish has some green hops too. Delicious porter, no matter what strength it is. LordCorkscrew (1051), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy
