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.

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.
