Keg at Iron Horse Tavern. Clear dark brown, large creamy dense tan head, good retention. Aroma of nuts, chocolate, roast. Taste is roast, chocolate, nuts. Thin, creamy. Fairly standard porter, but executed well and highly drinkable.

Opens with a massive swath of dark chocolate, then picks up mild cherry and fig before heading into a heavy roasted espresso finish. Lingering bitterness clears up any potential cloy notes. Aroma is amazing, waves of cocoa and coffee coming up from the pint. Pour's good as well, dark brown with slight red edges and a nice head with ample lace. Sparkly texture a tad too boisterous but otherwise creamy. Not a bad porter at all.

RBSG bus share. Normal looking dark brown pour with small beige head. Roast grains feature prominently in aroma and taste, with notes of cocoa and coffee. Small hints of sweetness, then a bitter end.
