Bottle from Chip’s in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Pours to a very dark brown with a quickly dissipating tan head. Nose is all malt, very roasty and caramel. Tastes like dark chocolate, caramel and coffee. Better than I was expecting after reading some of the other reviews on here. Medium-full bodied with a medium-quick finish. Very tasty,

smells like smoky chocolate. has grassy hop notes up front wtih a chocolate twist. Finishes with smooth roasted malt flavors. Feels smooth like silk on the palate. This is a highly sessionable beer with rich dark malt flavors and good hop contrast.

12oz bottle from Chip’s in Kill Devil Hills. Pours dark reddish-brown - light in color for a robust porter - with an off-white head that lasts. Aroma is nice: clean roast and chocolate. Flavor is very sweet for the style. Roast and chocolate with some caramel malt. Medium body with some roasty burn on the palate. Not a terrible porter overall. Underrated.
