rangerred (338) - Johnson City, Tennessee, USA - MAY 23, 2012
Had on tap in a pint glass. Arrived pitch black with a one finger tan head. Aroma had plenty of roasted malt along with some milk chocolate and coffee. The taste is black coffee and roasted malt lending even more coffee characteristics. There is some milk chocolate in there as well all ending with a light bitterness. Overall, a decent porter although I though the mouthfeel was a bit watery. I would have it again, though.

Dark brown, tan head. Aroma has roasted coffee in it. Taste is alright with hints of coffee. I don’t care much about porters but this was alright.
