Looks perfect. Great depth, excellent balance, hearty tobacco, baking cocoa, ashy roast, scorched earth, nips of grapefruit and citrus peel. A hint of black coffee, dark berry. Bittersweet finish. Delicious.

Keg at Mother Arch iii, 12/11/2025.
Pitch black topped with a dirty tan cap that escapes to the edge.
Nose is dark malts, spice, charr, cocoa powder, dusty hops.
Taste comprises dried fruit rinds, earthy roast, liquorice, charr, spice, cacao nibs, burnt toffee.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close dashed with mellow earthy hop bitterness.
Tidy porter but not top drawer in this esteemed series.
