black, small but firm film of head. Aroma of roasted nuts, roasted malt, coffe beans and something you would find at a burning fireplace. Taste is a bit hoppy, with tangling carbonation. Well balanced, long aftertaste of mocca, malts and hops. Very nice example of the style

Black; creamy tan head. Rich depth of dark malts. Dry, bitter, rich; creamy. A very excellent porter.

Good beer. My 11th a beerfest. I couldn’t find this beer booth at first. I would towel off from the pool and have a Porter with cheese and crackers.

9/13/08 - Bottle courtesy/shared with Naka. Pours black with thin, khaki head. Nose is sugar and raisin, slight chocolate and caramel. Fantastic oak and bourbon-esque character. Taste is slight coffee and lits of chocolate, slight spicy notes. a bit of oak and bourbon-y alcohol. moderately watery mouth feel. Chocolate and slight bitter finish. Great porter.

Bottle at Nnudd tasting. Courtesy of Yngwie. Poured black with a medium beige head. In nose licorice and roasted malts. Medium bodied. It tastes like licorice, bitter chocolate and roasted malts. I thought it would be more complex but pretty good porter.
