look: 3 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Poured from a brown 12 oz bottle with no date code into a pint glass.

A: Poured dark brown: almost black and almost opaque. There is very little head and very little lacing.

S: Vanilla beans and sweet milk chocolate. It smells like a candy bar.

T: It is very interesting: sweet coffee and roasted grains.

M: It goes down smooth enough. I think it would be better if it had more carbonation.

O: It is a nice beer. I have had this before on tap and it is always very drinkable.

Pours with a full head and a deep black coloring with the characteristic red undertones of a porter, the head recedes fairly quickly with minimal lacing. There is not much to the aroma, sort of an earthy horse blanket. Thankfully the flavor is not too overpowering vanilla sweet, in fact it's a rustic porter flavor with just a hint of vanilla as well as currant and brandy, despite the 4.7 abv. The mouthfeel is pretty standard for a dark ale, lingering but not too thick/cloying. Overall it's a decent porter but def not in the top tier of the style.
