3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20Thin fizzy head that disappears quickly. It has a very malty aroma with overtones of vanilla, caramel and some coffee. The flavor was a little weak at first, but then I let it warm up and it became somewhat better. The flavors that come through are of roasting. A different porter than what I’m used to.

12 ounce bottle poured black with aromas of light chocolate, malts, some light coffee, and a touch of earth. Flavors are the same, a little thin on the palate for how I like my porters, still a decent beer.
