Jet black with very little head. Aroma hinted of toasted malts, plums, berry, aromatic hops. Ripe fruit twang with a smoky and sweet undertone. Hint of vanilla and wood, dry finish. Medium-bodied, lively and soft mouthfeel. A nice porter from a now defunct brewery. Thanks JSquire.

The beer poured with a thin, tan head. The beer was almost opaque with ruby hints at the edges. The flavors are well balanced all the way down the glass with strong roast/almost bitter coffee flavors. Overall a great porter.
