Poured into a pint glass at the brewpub, the appearance was a dark brown close to black on the color with a nice looking smooth level finger’s worth of white foamy head (and that was a bar pour, nice!)
The aroma had some sweet smoke, subtle meat, solid roastiness, slight coffee and then a sweet milk chocolate.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side bringing in some smoke nicely underneath. Smooth smoky to sweet aftertaste with a little bit of chocolate and coffee. Quick wet smooth sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Nicely done ABV felt right as the brewer suggests.
Overall, good porter, English or American, I’m not sure, but almost \"smoked\" maybe. I’m not sure, going to have to make a trip back down to Rutland to find out for sure.
