Light brown and pretty cloudy - my biggest misgiving with this beer is that it does not look like a porter in the common understanding of the style. The visual appeal of blackness in a beer cannot be understated. The aroma is mostly toasty and breadcrusty. It is toasty and light chocolately on the palate as well. The beer has a fairly robust character, but is also sweet and smooth.

Draft @ brewpub. Unattractive one: soupy brown and to put it bluntly, ugly especially for a porter. But the pleasant spicy chocolate aroma, chicory, and splash of minty hop redeems. Chocolate, orange, and mint flavor profile is interesting.
