Serving: On tap (nitro)
Consumed: Oct-2-2019
Pours pitch black, ebony even as it is vaguely brownish too, with a massive, creamy almost eternal tan head from the nitro, sheets of varied lacing. Gorgeous. The aroma is of rich, thick, clean mocha, with a hint of leather, faint cinnamon-like spice. The flavor is equally tight in profile with milk chocolate, a whiff of coffee without being bitter, rich roast malt character without roastiness. Soft and creamy from the nitro, with a smooth, velvety finish that is rich while still drinkable. Really excellent, simple, low alcohol, drinkable, substantive, smooth, lovely beer. Well done!

on cask, served in an imperial pint glass. Black, think white head. A bit of roasted malt flavors - coffee and milk chocolate. Good balance and mouthfeel

Brown in color with tan head, nice retention. Smell of roasted malts, chocolate and tobacco. Taste is the same & cinnamon, light body, soft carbonation. Good brown porter.
