Overcarbonated pour fills 3/4 of the glass with head, then settles into an opaque black with a thinner airy, spotty-lacing beige head. Aroma of semi-sweet, but mostly roasted malts with a touch of piny hops and dark chocolate. Body starts somewhat fizzy, but has good sweet dark caramel and chocolate malts well balanced with some mild earthy hop bitterness before a crisp, roasty finish with good lingering dark chocolate character. A very nice robust porter.

Draught. Poured black with thin fast dissipating head. Roasty aroma with a much mediciney aroma. Roasty flavour with bittersweet chocolate and coffee flavours. More coffee notes in the finish.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Roasted malty chocolate aroma. Roasted malty chocolate and coffee flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate finish.

Courtesy of Acertain. The aroma is very concentrated with milk chocolate, cream and dark cocoa. The body is black with brown highlights and the head is mocha colored and quickly fades into a wispy, filmy slick of an affair. Some dark fruit notes in the fore...approaches blueberry. Dark chocolate, burnt/roasted bitter notes through the middle. Decent beer with a sweeter fore than usual, but no lack of roast bitterness.

Thanks to brewdad for giving me a chance to try this. Poured thick black into the glass. Bitter chocolate on the nose. Taste was chocolate, a hint of coffee, black licorice, with a nice bittersweet finish. Full bodied and flavorful. a bit underrated I would say.
