4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 beerchugger (709) - North Canton, Ohio, USA - AUG 11, 2010
The pour is black with a quickly diminishing tan head. The aroma is dominated by a deep sense of chocolate and dark roast coffee beans. Th flavor is very robust with a significant amount of dark roast coffee and unsweetened cocoa. The finish is wonderful with a strong presence of coffee. Deep dark roast is easily thw most prominate flavors here. The mouthfeel is a little heavy and chewy. I’m a little surprised this is a porter and not a stout, even though there isn’t a definitive answer to the difference between the two.

Black, black, black with thin tan head. Roasty malts in the aroma. Rich and malty flavor followed by roasty and burnt notes. Very creamy and satisfying. Well balanced between roast and sweeter malts.
