Fully opaque black body with a dense tan head. Lots of liquorice in the aroma, along with dark fruit, vanilla, chocolate and a pleasant roastedness. Lovely balance between fruityness, vanilla/liquorice and chocolate/espresso-roastedness in the taste. Smooth on the palate. A lush porter.

Pours pitch black with a good sized tan head. Nose has noticeable cocoa powder tones and coffee notes as well. Flavor is more along the roasted edge. as it warms up there seems to be a sweet edge that borders on being berry influenced almost. Stays nice and rounded and a good aftertaste is left to linger. Feel is smooth. Carbonation is higher. Drinkable, yes. I like.
