4/5  rDev -3.1%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance: Dark black coffee. Some decent foam and lacing. Definitely a dark porter.

Smell: Coffee, dark fruit, and some lingering sugar notes.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Very nice coffee notes. A bit of smokiness and fruity sweetness. Full-bodied, yet it goes down easy.

Overall Drinkability: I had this one a while back, so this isn't my best review, but I remember I enjoyed this quite a bit.

Color is black, as it should be, with a very fluffy beige head. The aroma is an inviting mix of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. Sweet malt comes through first in the flavor, with plenty of coffee and chocolate. Dry, oak finish.

Smooth texture, phenomenal balance and flavor, and at only 5.6% ABV, it's not heavy handed. It's beautifully crafted brews like this that make me love porters so much!

Found a bottle at a Tokyo supermarket, poured into a goblet.

A: Slightly lighter than coffee black, with light penetrance at the bottom of the glass. Large foamy head.

S: Dark malts, fruits, sweetness, slight burnt smoke smell.

T: Creamy sweetness, darker fruit tastes followed by wallop of coffee and dark chocolate bitterness that really lasts!

M: Creamy creamy creamy!

O: Great porter! Packs a ton of flavor into 5.5%. Sweet creaminess really blends well with the strong dark chocolate/coffee bitterness in the finish!
