After much demand for a seriously dark beer, we came up with this delicacy. Black, smooth and easy to drink, this is our beer for the people!

Appearance: Nicely poured, with a one finger off-white head that lasted longer than I thought it would. Good amount of lacing. When held up to the light, nothing comes through - very black.
Smell: Has a distinctive Belgian yeast smell, with some chocolate sweetness in the background.
Taste: It might smell like a Belgian, but it tastes like a porter. Big roast character, without being burnt (like the porter I'd had before this one). Appropriately hopped.
Mouthfeel: feels like a porter, moderate body, good carbonation
Drinkability: Interesting beer that seems to straddle style differences. It went very well with the chocolate cherry bread pudding we ordered for dessert. Think of it as a session porter.
