Nov 2, 2009 Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
An exceedingly dark brownish-red that remains slightly transparent. Massive foamy head with major lacing.
Aroma of smoke, caramel and roasted malts, cherry.
Definitely can taste the smoke, almost a charbroiled taste. Slightly sweet chocolate malts and fruit are balanced by roasted malts and hop bitterness. Different facets of the taste shine more than others dependent on the temperature.
Low to moderate carbonation, medium body, quite smooth and dry on the finish.
Very flavorful porter that insists you keep drinking, although the flavor overload may eventually wear thin. One of the best porters I have had.

Nov 2, 2009 Pours dark black with a huge tan head. The aroma is sweet chocolate and coffee with just an edge of smoke. Bitter, earthy, light smoke and coffee. Nice hint of sweet mid palate. Finishes clean and not cloying. Great by itself or with any smoked meats.
