Dark in color with a ruby hue with forward notes of chocolate and caramel and light toffee notes in the aroma. Flavor has big notes of bittersweet chocolate with notes of caramel and toffee and moderate hop bitterness and more caramel and toffee and slight hints of char. A big take on a classic style.

Had on nitro at the brewery. Pours a dark, dark brown with creamy ivory head. Chocolate, caramel, and a hint of toffee on the nose, just a little sweetness; follows onto the palate. Finishes with notes of roasted malt. Very nice.

Had on nitro at CC. Decent beer but disappointing mouthfeel/ thin considering it was a nitro pour.

Smokey black with a large, off-white steamed milk-like head, as it was on nitro at the brewery.
Being on nitro, there's not much smell, basically airy brown malt and cola.
Taste is nutty, smooth caramel cola, and light chocolate.
Overall bitter leaning, thin and dry.

Really dark brown color with brown head. Aroma is nice and fudgy with sweet chocolate and dark malts. Taste follows with dark chocolate and roasted malts, really balanced and easy drinking. Light body but really smooth on the palate. Overall it's a really good porter, soft and tasty.
