Pours black into an English pint. Mocha head with good retention pancakes and recedes leaving spider lacing. Dark chocolate and licorice aromas. Medium bodied with dark chocolate, licorice and espresso upfront turning to soy and pumpernickel in the soft, medium length finish.

Single from that bottle shop in Nashville. You know the one. Sleepy time in the fridge for like 8 months. Canned 12/20/24... it's porter.
Pint glass at home. Tall tan head that cleanly recedes. Dark brown body with some vino highlights.
Licorice & unsweetened choco nose with a bit of ash.
Dark & sharp malt, bitter char, red wine dark fruit, subtly pleasant acid & accompanying sweetness. Lingering astringent char.
Drinks thin & easy. Like.

Beer Table to Go, NYC tap: pours black with a light beige head. Aroma is chocolate with hefty bits of coffee and a generally robust character. Taste is sort of bitter. Body is very smooth. Generally low sweetness. Overall solid beer. A good porter from a saison brewer.
