3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20From a growler served in a shaker glass. Very dark brown with a thin khaki head. Smells of dark fruits, tobacco, and bread. The flavor is similar with a touch of toffee. Medium-low carbonation with a slightly astringent texture. Very nice porter that differs from the norm.

Cerveza negra con espuma cremosa como la de un expresso. Muy cremosa pero con gas vivo. Sabor café, chocolate, especiado. Muy interesante y compleja para no tener mucho alcohol.

Bottle shared with rbrazell! Pours a translucent brownish black with thin lacy ring of tan head and light lacing. Aroma of toasted dark barley, slight bitter chocolate, and slight coffee. Taste follows with hints of soy and a slightly bittersweet finish. Good stuff.
