Dickinsonbeer (2480), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Nov 13, 2005 Cask at Otto’s. Very deep dark brown/almsot black with a frothy beige head and good lace. Aroma had lot sof chocolate malts with hints of roasted barley. Light hops all the way through for some balance, more chocolate in the middle, and a ligth bitterness in the end with hints of licorice. One of the smoothest porters I have had.
