Had on-tap at Three Floyds 11/28/08 into a pint glass.

Apperance was dark black with a one inch tan head that sank to a good coating that held up throughout and left some pretty good lacing.

Aroma was expectedly roasty with lots of chocolate tones, brown sugar, and an unexpected (though it's FFF so king of expected) huge citrusy hop presence.

The taste was initially somewhat sweet with notes of brown sugar, then some chocolate, followed by a huge burst of citrus that somehow works wonderfully. As the hops come out some coffee-like roastiness comes out though it's quite smooth. Finishes with a wonderful blend of roast and citrus.

Mouthfeel is medium, smooth and creamy, this ones really easy to put back a few of.

This stuff is unlike any other Porter I've tried. I had this one last March or so and the hops were not nearly as present as they are now when it's fresh. Get some of this stuff, very unique and excellent.

Serving type: on-tap
