I had this beer on-tap in a tulip at the brewery.
Appearance: black with brown highlights around the edges and a finger of frothy tan foam. Good!
Smell: quite malty with a lot of base barley aroma and a dash of roastiness. Not bad.
Taste: malty, roasty, caramelly and with a dash of toffee. A little astringent at the end, but overall quite good.
Mouthfeel: medium-light body but with a good carbonation and a very decent creaminess.
Overall: a nicely flavorful porter. I dig it.
