Deep brown color, thin white head that disappates too quickly for my liking. Chocolte malts dominate the nose, with faint hint of hops. The body is light and chocolatey... wait it is too light for me. The finish is mildly chocolately and actually a bit warming which was suprising considering the strength of the beer. This beer is like if you gave a mad scientist a porter recipe and told him to work his magic this is what he would produce. Nothing fancy, stick to the book porter.
