Dark Horse Reserve Special Black Bier

Bottle thanks to brentfreesh, shared with ilovedarkbeer. Pours thick for a 7.5%, with a dark brown head, black body and good lace. Aroma is a bit of biscuit, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, roast, alcohol and berries. Quite complex for a "regular" porter. Taste is roasty, yeasty, some metallic notes, with lots of coffee. Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Lively carbonation.

Bottle. This one will surprise you. Pours a thin, black with little to no head. Smell is not overwhelming or indicitive of the huge flavor. This porter is full of burnt coffee and chocolate taste. Great thin, clean finish from a huge robust porter. One of the better, and stronger, porters.
