deep brown with beige fluffy head, it has strong aroma of chestnut and chocolate. lively body, the flavor is coffee and mocha; the roasted barley carries through to lend a dry and chewy feel.

Jun 21, 2008 Appearance: Pours a very dark, brown body with some reddish hints to it and a small, off-white head.
Smell: Aroma of roasted barley and a blend of semi-sweet chocolate and molasses.
Taste: Chocolatey, roasty malts with a slight taste of raw barley. Fairly restrained sweetness. Medium earthy bitterness. Whisper of smoke. Drying finish with a ramped up roastiness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Touch of creaminess to the mouthfeel.
Drinkability: A fine, relatively pleasing English porter.

May 25, 2008 Very dark brown beer with a small off-white head. Fruity malt aroma with a port note. Initially a thin fruity flavour, but it’s followed by rich chocolate and dried fruits.
