12oz bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with tinges of ruby. Head reduces to a thin but persistent and creamy tan. Hardly any lacing. Smells lightly of roasty, creamy dark malt. Taste is not as roasty as you think. Sweetish dark biscuity malt, fades to a creamy chocolatey flavor with a quite light but satisfying bitter coffee flavor. Aftertaste is the bitter coffee lingering in low levels for quite a while. A lighter bodied porter but it delivers on the subtle balanced flavors. Easy drinker.

Poured a dark brown color with a tan head. The malty aroma is sweet and roasty with some notes of milk chocolate and light coffee. The flavor was of roasted mild coffee and a small bitterness. Light to medium bodied.

Bottle from trade. Pours a nice mahogany color with a big creamy tan head. Aroma of lightly roasted malt and nuts. Has a smooth taste of toffee and malt. Finishes dry with a bit of a tart flavor.

Pours a deep dark brown with tinges of ruby. Head reduces to a thin but persistent and creamy tan. Hardly any lacing. Smells lightly of roasty, creamy dark malt. Taste is not as roasty as you’d think. Sweetish dark biscuity malt, fades to a creamy chocolatey flavor with a quite light but satisfying bitter coffee flavor. Aftertaste is the bitter coffee lingering in low levels for quite a while. A lighter bodied porter but it delivers on the subtle balanced flavors. Easy drinker. Good little porter.
