12 ounce can. Opaque dark brown pour. Large, frothy tan head settles to a small foamy cap. Sweet roasted malt aroma hints at coffee and molasses. Flavor follows nose. Added notes of toasted walnuts and chocolate. A bit thin for the style.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is very dark brown--almost opaque--with no sparkle, finger-width fizzy light brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is roasted/smoky malts (bordering on ash), some coffee and hints of chocolate. Taste is burnt malts, resin bitterness, earth. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and burnt, bitter finish. Overall, too burnt and bitter for me.

Bottled. Dark brown, beige head. Aroma of tobacco and licorice. Mid dry with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Milk chocolate, hay and licorice. Fairly low bitterness. Another solid beer from Queen City.

Draught at The Haven, 4/14/17.
Dark cocoa-ebony body seems to have some clarity at least around the edges. Tan head atop shows moderate retention.
Chocolate, light toffee, molasses and earthy, almost lightly smoke notes do not get too bitter/burnt/acrid and the base malt is felt, albeit lightly, adding light caramel character for balance. Moderate fruitiness, as well, deepens complexity.
Quite dry and very light-bodied bordering on thin. A touch more malt suppleness would work wonders here. Lots of dark fruit, molasses and bitter cocoa with light caramel on the finish. Somewhat loose, unfocused carbonation, as their beers tend to have, detracts from the experience.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a rim of a mocha to off white bar pour’s kind of head.
The smell had a sweet cocoa bean to powder aroma sliding into some nice roasty coffee beans.
The taste was mainly sweet taking the previously mentioned flavors to town on the sweetness and allowing a delicate creaminess in the flavor.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation rides extremely low allowing a sweet creaminess to be felt on my tongue.
Overall, really nice porter, definitely one of their better beers and one I’d definitely come back to.

Draft at the brewery, 7/5/15
Dark brown color with a beige head and light lacing. Light aroma, roasted malts and some caramel notes as well. Smooth and drinkable, though a bit thin. Decent.
