Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color porter with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of rye notes are pretty strong with some dry bitter roasted malt notes and light black chocolate notes. Taste is also a mix of strong rye notes with some woody notes with some bitter chocolate notes and dry bitter roasted malt with limited residual sugar notes. Body is full with good carbonation with some warming alcohol notes easily detectable. Dryer then expected with more alcohol coming through then expected but still enjoyable.
