Dark brown with a watery color. Faint head. Chocolate and roasted malt aroma. Spice and something chemically marring an otherwise nice nose. Stale, sour bad body. I think this bottle has gone the way of the dodo bird. To the drain I go...

illini08 was quick to tell me City rhymes with sh**ty, but this turned out to be pretty decent. low carbonation, mostly a chocolate aroma and flavor. nice session style porter.

Bottle. Brown pour with a light tan head. Aroma of light spice, chocolate, soap, and brown sugar. Falvors of cinnamon, chocolate, sweet malt and bitter roast. Medium body...roasty and a bit soapy with a bitter/roast sour finish.l
