Good porter. Pours black with slight head. Roasted malts and touch of coffee/chocolate on the nose, which carries through to the taste. Not very heavy, but easy to drink and enjoyable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

An excellent porter in all of it's greatness. I must admit the ratings don't lie, slowly receding two inch frothy head, solid black color, faint toffee to the nose, medium body with slight dryness to the mouth and flavors of toffee and bittersweetness complement in the palate very nicely. Super enjoyable, highly recommended for anyone who's new and old to craft beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
