Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee and tobacco. Thin body for a porter and just a bit of bitterness up front that is herbal. Bit sweet but mostly middle of the road. Nothing special.

Courtesy of keifdog. Pours brown with thin tan head. The aroma has pleasing notes of molasses, some burnt malts and then fades away with little else going on. The taste has a modest level of burnt – roastiness followed by faint molasses and more roasted flavors. It stays even into the finish while picking up a nice sense of chocolate.

Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours dark cola brown with an off-white head. Nose is roast, coffee, earth, and some nuttiness. Flavor is same with bitter chocolate, nuts, and roast. Light to medium bodied and lingering with roast bitterness. Ok beer overall.
