It poured a dark brown color with a creamy tan head. The aroma was of chocolate, caramel, some minor coffee and a little pepper. The taste was more chocolate and caramel with a roasted malt and coffee taste and a hint of pepper. Medium to full body with average carbonation and a thick, creamy mouth feel. Very decent porter, the peppercorn is very subtle but you can tell it’s there.

On tap at the brewpub. My kickoff to the St. Louis Craft Beer week. Almost black with some red on top. A small tan ring leaves nice lacing. A roasted aroma ith soft hops. Those hops are lightly tasted adding a bit of bitterness. Pepper is tasted butbitbis very light. Chocolate and roasted notes carry this. They do a good job of it, too. Earthiness lingers a long time. Some mint in the after taste, too.
