On tap at Mcneills. Almost black, this one wears a nice film of laced beige silk, fully lasting. Typical chocolate and coffee aroma shows great evolution as it warms toward a moderate roastiness, smooth yet very malty and not too sweet. Smoky and highly roasty palate. It remains a diplomat, bringing along vanilla and tobacco hints to pair with an honest bitterness like a conciliator. Ultra smooth body seems to complement the flavour profile through its perfect carbonation and creaminess. Excellent!

L: Pours deep chestnut with a rich 2” light tan foam collar that dissipates but leaves good lacing.
S: Toffee, caramel aromas
T: Big malt flavors with mostly toasted flavors and nothing harsh or burnt. Starts with a light malt sweetness but dries on the finish with a touch of bitter and a slight astringency.
F: a little above medium body and a little below medium carbonation. Very soft and creamy in the mouth.
O: A nicely balanced porter with rich malt flavors.

A - Poured from a 22oz. bomber into a tulip glass. A dark color with a hint of clear deep amber color. A large head that stays present throughout the beer. White chunks in the bottom of my beer, probably just yeast.
S - Roasted hops and a rich molasses dominate the nose, with a slight coffee and chocolate note.
T - Honey taste with a nice hop and malt finish. Not getting much of the coffee or chocolate on the taste.
M - A bit light, but crisp and bubbly.
O - Would I buy this beer again, probably not, but it was worth the taste. I don't have a sweet spot for porters but I figured I try a nice local brew out.
