Draft @ Silver Peak. Pours a dark, chocolate-brown color; medium-tan head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing; nice pour. Generous amounts of basic roasted malts and dark chocolate. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of roasted malts, dark chocolate, and some licorice at the core; solid, inky, generously roasted maltiness; very solid porter, if just a touch too charred and bitter. Lengthy finish: roasted malts, chocolate; nicely bitter and dry.

On tap (from notes). Pours an extremely dark brown with a medium sized mostly lasting tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, baker’s chocolate,and a touch of vanilla latte. The flavor is much like the nose; big roasted malt, dark chocolate bitterness, and moderate sweetness from the vanilla flavored coffee. Medium bodied. A decent brew in a relative beer wasteland.
