A super dark porter with loads of rich, dark maltiness and chocolate flavors. What a beautiful head!

11/12....served on tap at DC. Pours brownish dark. Light foam. Roasted coffee noise. Taste is a roasted flavor with coffee background. Light carbonation, thin mouthfeel. Light bodied. Good flavor though.
