Came to me in one of their standard pint glasses. Might have sat on the bar a bit because there was no head left. It laced well and had a deep brown color that let a little light through.
Smells was mostly coffee and chocolate notes. Some heavier malts in there, and it ended with a sweet hint right at the end.
First sip was great. Semi-complex with the coffee and chocolates working together. Mid-drink, some caramel notes came through. It finished with a slight hop kick, not much, but adequate for the style and the right amount to complement the other flavors there.
Mouthfeel was a little light for a porter. But it ended a little creamy on the palate. For 4.8% ABV, I wasn't suspecting a really thick and creamy beer.
Overall, I think this is one of there better beers brewed at Lil' Charlies. I haven't reviewed them all, but enjoyed most of them and I hope they keep this one around awhile.
