Clear chestnut with ruby hues and some specks floating about. Thin foamy tan head. Trickling carbonation. Roasted caramel and burnt chocolate aroma, quite strong. Mellow and malty with roasted notes, burnt sugar , chocolate and black malt sharpness. Medium body. Dry but with hints of molasses. Finishes with a mix of walnuts, coffee and anise. As it warmed this brew exploded with flavor. A keeper.

Bottle. There were hints of cherry and chocolate in the aroma. The color was kind of like cherry coke, mostly brown with red hints. The beer had a mocha flavor to it, without the cherry that was in the aroma. The mouthfeel was a touch sticky, and a bit bitter. A very nice beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Dark brown with a film of bubbles. Smells almost exactly like stale chocolate cake. Taste-liked iced coffee, dough, and yeast. Kind of thin overall, but doable.

Not too bad, it’s got all you look for in a porter, just not enough of it. I want a porter to be like a turkey dinner, the kind of beer you need a nap after you have it, this beer doesn’t do that.
