this beer looks absolutely gorgeous in the glass, deep, dark amber-black with a light brown head. aroma is fantastic as well, roasted coffee and chocolate as well as something else i can't place, something sweet. perfectly hopped with a bitter finish. this is an intensely great beer and i applaud the brewers at smuttynose for putting this one together.

Very poundable porter. But with a ABV of 5.6% makes it an expensive task to measure the buzz. Make it 7+ and it’s a classic.

Definitly a Robust Porter. Roasted and toasted malt. A mouthful of flavor with a dry bitter finish. Great for dessert or on a cold night.

Thanks to Lou18 for this one. Poured dark black with a light brown head. The aroma was HUGE coffee, bread, chocolate, carmel, and malts. Unbelievable coffee smell, add in the other aromas and combine and you have a beer orgasm. Flavor is coffee, nuts, and chocolate. Lush malt body with the perfect balance. The flavor and aroma are superb. What a joy this one is.

This beer was almost perfect. A sweet creamy flavour with coffee and chocolate notes mixed with a mild taste of hops. The only let down was the head was kind of small and was a little water on the tounge. Truly a robust porter.
