Pours a dark brown with a medium/dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate, toffee, coffee, and hops. Taste is much the same. Pretty thick mouthfeel. I like the combination of flavors, but this doesn’t have big taste. This is a veryu good porter, but not especially memorable.

Tap at BT. Cherry, hops, dry finish. I had an IS before but it seemed fairly soda-like. Effervescent but enjoyable.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Pitch black beer, thin white head. Aroma is quite earthy and fairly chocolatey. Bitter chocolate, and loads of roasted barley. Fairly full-bodied with bitter chocolate and a bit of dark roasted coffee. Palate is a bit watery, but the beer really comes across more like a dry stout than like any sort of porter. It’s still pretty good.

I was quite exited to try this, as it was my first try at a Mcneills brew. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed. Aroma was predominantly hops, and not too much else. Flavour was overly hopped and astringent, with a massive imbalance. Just plain too astringently hoppy to be a good porter.

Sampled at brewery. Pours a dark brown with a light tan head.Aroma of roasty malts, coffee, chocolate and earthy hops. Flavor is silky smooth with roasted barley, light coffee, molasses, and a touch of smoke with a dry roasted finish.
