4.28/5 rDev -0.2%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Dark brown, appears to be clear. Rich and creamy head (looks a lot like rootbeer foam) off white in color and sticks around for a good long time
Smells of roasted malts, raisins, and sweet bread. Every time I smelled this I couldn't help but think of fresh baked muffins
I pick up a little hop flavor followed by dark fruit and bready sweetness
Medium bodied, I can feel the carbonation and it coats the mouth. Hops are followed by the sweet malts which leads to a crisp hop finish, a lot going on here
This is a very fine beverage, a real bargain and readily available in my area

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.75

a: pretty dark - black/deep dark purple. some reddish notes at the bottom of the glass. large 3 finger beige rocky head that fades pretty quick

s: smells like a pretty standard porter. toasted malt, milk chocolate, hint fig and plum, candied sugar, lactose? smells pretty inviting

t: first sip makes me think this is definitely worth the high rating. second sip confirms. this drinks REALLY smooth. nice toasted malt, dark chocolate, plums, raisins. there is a very slight and smooth earthy coffee-like bitterness, almost tea leaf like on the backend. milk chocolate and toasted malt linger for a while - real nice

m: lighter side of medium. even though there was a large head, there is not much carbonation in the mouth

o: i am very happy with this, it is absolutely worth you getting. at 5.8% its really drinkable, yet the filled with smooth flavors. i have nothing negative to say about this beer. if you like porters, drink this.
