My first time at Top of the Hill today.Poured from the nitro tap into a nonic close to jet black with a creamy tannish colored cascading head atop.Faint coffee-like aromas with likewise faint earth in the nose,dark roast coffee is the main flavor component,a tinge of vanilla as well but not a whole lot going on here.A very average porter,Iam guessing the oatmeal porter,not alot of stuff going on here.

Dark brown color with a thick, super creamy nitro head. Good looking porter.
Aroma was pretty modest. Slight bit of roast malts, not a lot else going on aroma-wise.
Taste was also a bit bland for the style. Like a Guinness with a bit more roasted malt. Otherwise, fairly low in character. Not a lot of malt, minimal hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel was creamy from the nitro tap, but otherwise a little thin like Guinness can come across as thinner than one would expect. Overall, an OK but not great porter that I'll probably not order again.

A-Poured black with an off white head that lasted a good while and left some decent lacing, but it was a nitro-tap so that was expected.
S-Roasted malt, coffee, and some chocolate; nothing overpowering.
T-Strong dry roasted flavor, coffee, hint of chocolate and hops.
M-Not as thick as I was hoping, kind of carbonated.
D-Not very drinkable it to me as it had too much of a dry roasted flavor and not much else going on in the flavor department.
Overall, I wasn't impressed and wouldn't drink it again.
