3.81/5  rDev -3.8%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Very dark brown body topped off with a khaki-colored foam cap. Light rings of lacing on the descent.

Smell: Fireside leans roasty with touches of mild chocolate, light coffee. Slight pine hop scent but also some citrusy notes along the lines of orange-grapefruit.

Taste: Roasty malts with a kick of scorched grains yielding a light astringency. Cocoa, coffee and a restrained sweetness. Citrusy hops, a little pine show moreso as the beer warms a bit. Roasty, lightly hoppy finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.

Overall: A simple, straight-forward but decent ale.

Very dark brown/black with a modest tan head and some decent lacing. The aroma is dark roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. The taste is also malt forward, coffee and dark chocolate with a bit of nice alcohol warmth. The finish dries out a bit with lingering coffee and white pepper notes. The body is medium, moderate carbonation, drinkable and reasonably smooth. Altogether, this is a very decent porter, very nice for a cool weather bracer.
