Bottle, The Den, Kalamazoo. Dark brown colour, tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Flavour has toasted malts, chocolate and coffee cream. Low carbonated.

Pours a near black brown with a small light tan head that fades fast. The commercial description is dead on. Aroma is of coffee, chocolate, and heavily toasted malt. Flavor is same, with a little bit of coffee bitterness and end. Mouthfeel is a little watery, but the flavor more than makes up for it.

Drank this beer at a cool temperature out of 12oz bottle. I Immediately recognized a strong smoky flavor followed by mellow coffee and chocolate notes. Aftertaste left me wishing I was eating this with a meal because my palate was somewhat dry feeling. Drawing from little experience with porters this was a very bold but smooth beer.
