On tap at Grand Rapids Brewing Company. Dark brown with some reddish hues and a thin white head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and diacetyl. Taste of Milk chocolate, light roasted malts and a candied cola finish that is also somewhat astringent.

Pours black with little or no head. Sweet chocolate smell. Tastes very sweet as well almost like red licorice. It goes down nice and smooth but overall it was a little too sweet.

From a growler. Deep brown body, thin tan head. Sweet chocolate aroma with hints of roast. Body is rather thin, but there are nice notes of milk chocolate and a touch of coffee cream in addition to rather light roast and earthy hops. A bit like Arcadia’s London Porter in its sweet yet earthy body. This brewery always seems like a work in progress, but this special offering has none of the metallic off-notes that plague some of the beers in their regular lineup.
