A deep dark brown porter with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with light coffee notes, banana esters, OK. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with light nutty notes, coffee grind, musty character, alcohol warmth, very nice. Bottle at Spinrsx tasting.

Bottle shared on the bus during RBWG 2015. Pours rich brown with a foamy head. Very tasty, well balanced. Rich chocolate notes, some baking cocoa, toasty malts. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Robust roasted malt finish with further, lasting baking cocoa. Good.

On tap-tan-dk brown. A-roasty. As it warms, chocolate/some molasses/roasty-dk malt, slight hop bite. T-follows with the hops being a bit more pronounced.
