Dark brown color. About one finger thick tan colored head that quickly disappears into almost nothing. Moderate number of bubbles. Clear in the glass. Almost non-existent lacing.

Aroma: Very porter like. Reminded me of Guinness draught (extra stout). Roasted malts, somewhat burnt. Strong malt and low hop presence in the nose.

Sweet malt with some after taste roasted, burnt flavor. Slight hop presence provides some balance. Semi-dry finish.

Mouth feel :Medium bodied. Slightly high carbonation leads to some astringency. Drinks very much like a porter.

Blind tasting would certainly have me failed. It is an out and out porter for me.

Note: Towards the end it felt more like a brown ale than a porter.
