Brownish head, pitch-black beer. This is definitely more a stout than a porter both in taste and appearance. I noticed some hints of licorice, sugar and clearly the bitterness of the hops near the end. It’s a good beer not too heavy, well balanced. It also reminds me of Outblack.

Excellent beer. Let it warm a bit out of the fridge and upon opening it was a low gusher. Poured with a medium sized, thick, Color is an absolutely opaque brown black. Aroma is cocoa, dark ripe fruit, roast, malt, slight anise, and yes, pumpernickel bread. Flavor is similar with only very slight sweetness, some astringency, and very slight tang from mild carbonics. Body is full, lush, with a few high points and soft carbonation. Finish is like flavor, has medium length, and some alcohol warmth. Slow drinking session beer.
