[Best served in a English Pint]

The pour was a dark muddy brown with a very large (heavy side of 3 fingers) light brown foamy head that lasted a good long time, leaving being a ton of residue that layeyered the top of the beer thus producing some excellent lacing that totally coated the glass.

The aroma was of a roasted bread malt and a leathery doughy yeast with strong notes of roasted coffee, molasses and a bit of toffee.

The taste was nice and malty and a little sweet with just a hint of molasses in the beginning then proceeded to become a tad bitterer and was fully enhanced by a nice strong coffee note at the end. The flavor lingered on well after the swallow with the strong taste of malty coffee relaxing nicely on the taste buds.

Mouthfeel was just a shade under full in body and very creamy in texture with the carbonation being nice and soft.

Overall an exceptional Porter with everything working so well together that it produces a beer that has awesome flavor and a great drinkability.

dark brown almost black pour with a finger of creme colored head, nice retention. smells of dark roasted grains, bitter chocolate, plums. the taste is very smooth, a chocolatey flavor overall, with a distinct taste almost reminiscent of sunflower seeds in the finish. semi bitter chocolate, and roasted malts.. definitely get a sense of oats in the mouthfeel. creamy and rich, medium body with a modest amount of carbonation.

it's hard for me to find a porter i like, but this is one of the best i've had. i love when brewers use oats for texture, it does definitely make a difference with beer styles such as porter.

Thanx Damian74Shensky:

Best by 04/08/13:

Into a mug:

A: pitch black body with a one finger white foamy head that quickly dissipates and leaves concave clingy lacing

S: chocolate, toffee, light coffee, light roasted malt and I do get some peanut butter, hmm ... interesting (am wondering if that was intentional ...? 'cause I honestly don't know where I'm getting that even after I've smelled it so many times even after it warms)

T: sweet and bitter at different times through all previously mentioned flavors except for that peanut buttery thing I initially smelled, slight chocolate aftertaste, sticky finish

M: light, sessionable, smooth, adequate carbonation

O: I would say this is good for its style and good for me, I'd have this one again, and it would probably be good with food, I'm not sure where that peanut buttery smell I'm gettin' comes from, but it could be possibly due to the fact that its close to expiring
