Draft at the brewpub. Toasted malt aroma. Maybe a chocolate hint. Near opaque brown/black color with a tan head. Medium body with very smooth carbonation. The flavor reminds of the old Guinness (this is a heavy porter). It’s a very toasted porter with a nice amount of bitter in the finish.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured an opaque black color. Head was thin and off white. Not much aroma other than a hint of wet dog. Not a good smell. Dry and relatively flavorless other than subdued roasted malt. One of my least favorite.
