The aroma of this tar colored beer is exquisite. It smells of rich chocolate, almost like a chocolate cheesecake, with overtones of roasted coffee. The flavor is more robust, there is a strong, smoky roasted flavor and some bitter kick in the background. Some flavor almost reminescent of powdered espresso beans is noticeable. The finish is all roasted maltiness and coffee flavor. This is a great porter, which is full bodied but drinkable, and smooth yet potently flavorful. Seek this out if you enjoy dark beers.

330ml Bottle- Black in colour with a chocolatey brown head reminiscent of a cup of cocoa. Coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Rich taste with plain chocolate and roasted coffee with a pleasing creaminess in the lightly malty finish. Very enjoyable and whilst it is rich and full bodied, it is also smooth and easy to drink.

Pours think oil black with a medium creamy mocha head. Some smoked peat and slightly metallic aroma. Really an excellent porter. Creamy chocolate and some caramel, little smokey with a very noticeable metallic hoppy edge. Not exactly what I was expecting. Really an excellent fast drinking porter but I prefer my fullers =). (this one reminds me of a nicer version of sierra’s porter)
