4.33/5  rDev +4.3%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25

Appearance: Very dark brown with tan head. Above average lacing

Smell: Carmelly, toasty, roasty

Taste: Stong malt with wholesome spicy hops that balances well. Malts are toasty, smokey, dark caramelly. Hops are spicy, bitter and somewhat herbally. Def a "Robust" Porter with this amount of hop.

Feel: Medium bodied, smooth, delicate-light carbonation with long finish.

Serving type: bottle

It comes in a rich dark color, with a slight bit of brown in its head, like what a porter should have.

The aroma has huge chocolate, roast, and some coffee.

It has a complex round flavor of chocolate, coffee, and malt. It rolls off the tongue nicely with a clean wonderful finish. The body is so creamy. The beer is almost like a mocha coffee cappuccino.

I find that some porters lack that characteristic and this is what makes this beer so good is because of its body and mouth feel. I had this beer next to Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, a highly rated porter, and preferred this beer.

Love this beer.

Tap

Pours jet black with an inch of tan head, retains well.

Smells of caramel and toasty wooden notes.

Oakey malts with a smoked element and a bit of coffee and vanilla.

Medium body with minimal carbonation.

Pretty decent porter, good flavor, worth trying.

Serving type: on-tap
