A beer for the shifting seasons. Days are shorter, skin is hidden and black beers are here. Like fur between your legs, this roasty, silk charmer is your ticket to seasonal embrace.

Bomber to mug, the appearance was a fairly dark brown color close to black with a sturdy finger’s worth of white foamy head that died off at a mild pace. Light stringy lace. The aroma had some roastiness with a little bit of malted milk chocolate and a little bit of nuts. The flavor copied the aroma pretty nice and bled into the aftertaste and finish as directed. The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sessionable sort of smooth feel along my tongue. Some carbonation was felt but not distracting. ABV felt fine. Overall, pretty nicely done porter that I could have again.

Bottled fall 2014; drank 11/4/14 @ the Yarchives.
Poured from the bottle into a glass.
Brown/purple hue.
Big tan head; nice lace.
Fresh coffee & fresh earth nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Roasted coffee & fresh earth flavors up front, which clash slightly with the hop bite on the finish. Dial back the hops & this would be delicious; as it is, drinkable but not great.
