Bottle from Bello. Easy-drinking to the point of boring. Hits style guidelines to the same degree. Only enough dark roast/coal to placate; slight meaty char like a rauch (to its credit, never detected this in a porter before); not much chocolate; detectable buttery flavor/texture. Not my new lover.

12oz i’ve been sitting on for way too long. Batch 6723. Pours black with a tan head. Nose is sweet and malty. Taste is sweet and malty. Its decent look forward to trying a fresher bottle.

Bottle from hellbilly. Thanks! Pours a nice dark brown with a frothy beige head. The aroma is husky dark malts, mild roast, and a touch of sweetness. The flavor is similar with a good dose of dark malts, some chocolate, and some light roast. The finish is a little dry and roasty with a moderate hop profile as well. Carbonation is medium, and the beer drinks smooth.

Dark brown with some amber highlights and an off-white head. Aroma is mild with notes of roasted malts, cocoa, vanilla, and nuttiness. Flavor is also mild, bordering on thin, although the flavor that is there is good- chocolate, vanilla, and some slight smokey roasted notes. Creamy mouthfeel is nice.

Dark amber/black color with a thin tan head. Mild roasted and slightly sweet aroma with a robust but smooth taste, a bitter finish and a hint of chocolate.
