| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 28, 2009 Tap at Rattle n Hum, dark brown malty goodness. Very roasty with fresh espresso and dark chocolate over the malt sweetness. Some dark fruits and toffee... though honestly I found it a bit short of the brilliant Mocha Porter, so a re-try is in order here..

Poured a deep, opaque reddish brown with a finger thick head that faded to lasting lacing. Smelled of roasted coffee and grain. Taste starts off with a hint of fruit that quickly gives way to roasted coffee, malt and finally fades to a roasted chocolate. Palate is good, if maybe a bit thin. Very enjoyable mix of flavors.
