Cask at Varga in Philadelphia.
Pours one shade from black with a large-bubbled tan head. The head recedes quickly into a thin ring around the glass leaving decent lacing.
Smells of smooth roasted malts with good amounts of light chocolate. Also present are heavy citrus aromas with hints of herbal hops.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Equal parts roasted malt and dark chocolate flavors kick things off. Joining in shortly thereafter are good amounts of citrus and herbal hop flavors. Midway through the sip the herbal hops fade out a bit and turn more bitter, carrying through to a moderately bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is very good. It's got a smoother-than-average thickness with soft carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I finished my glass without a problem and could have another.
Overall I haven't yet had the base beer so I can't compare the two, but I found this to be a well done porter. The hops added a good deal of complexity without overpowering the roasty or chocolate notes. Worth a shot if it pops up again.
