Reviewed from notes.
Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: pours dark brown but leaves more of a black color with a three finger eggshell white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: roasted dark malts, subtle coffee, ash, toast, smoky and some earthy tones
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas to a roasty to bitter quality; finishes somewhat earthy and ashy
Texture: medium bodied, not really sessionable but not exactly a sipper and I believe that's what leads me to believe the ashiness was a bit drying and distracting on the tongue
Overall: the brewer says it's a "lightly smoked porter" when in reality, the smoke came off more like ash mostly.
