Reviewed from notes.
On tap at C.H. Evans on 11/17/2018.
Appearance: jet black in the glass with a quarter finger's worth of khaki foamy head which once dissipated didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sweet camp-like smoke, some coffee roastiness; dried dark fruits; slight earthiness, dark chocolate bitterness and a little bit of a sweet wafery malt backbone
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality initially with an ample bittering tone underneath and a lighter note of roastiness; finishes dark fruity dry with some smoke and dark chocolate bitterness
Texture: medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with a slight bitterness in there
Overall: seemed kinda bigger than expected for what the brewer was calling an "English porter," still, I do believe I would return to this as it was well brewed.
