Pours a dark brownish/black with rootbeer color highlights and a thick mocha head. The smell is roasted malt, some chocolate, coffee, and sweet notes as well. Very inviting, nice aroma. The taste starts with the chocolate and coffee, then finishes with the roasted malt and a hint of smokiness. Not as sweet as I would have expected, but very good. The mouthfeel is lighter than expected, a medium/light body, the thick head adds to the body but when that is gone the body seems ligther. A little bit heavier and this would be spot on. Overall a very well done porter, great flavor, and easy to enjoy.
