Draught. Deep, dark brown pour with a medium tan head. Aroma of campfire, robust malt and peanuts. Medium bodied taste with a lasting smokey finish.

On tap at willibrew. Can’t say I’ve heard of this brewery. Very smokey, some roasted malts tasty

On tap at Track 84 - Warwick, RI. Subtly melded aroma of roast malt and a nip of smoke. It’s a little hard for me to decipher the smoke quality, it’s there in that very vaguely rustic notion that so many smoked porters present. That said, it’s clean, fresh, and lively, not overwhelmed or unbalanced. Porter seems to tend brown, but like the Flagship Ale, this early batch has a detectable harshness in the finish, either as a result of bittering hop misuse of fermentation control. Still, a fine effort.
