Thanks to my friend Nic for getting a growler of this in N.B. Almost pitch black with a nice beige foamy head, good retention and creamy lacing. Beautiful aromas of roasted malts, molasses, notes of chocolate, coffee and nuts. The taste is a little milder but still good with the burnt malt. That is about it for the smokiness though. Seems more like a stout than a porter. Pretty good though.
