Shallow Grave Porter is dark as night, perfect for a cool evening out in the woods. This a big, dark ale with a complex and rich chocolate and caramel malt character followed by a touch of warmth and light malt sweetness, leaving you ready for more after each shovelful. You will love this so much you won’t have time to dig a six-footer, so make it a Shallow Grave.
We’re sure you’ll dig it.

Another well-made heretic beer, but unfortunately nothing special about it other than it was nicely brewed. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours black with a large tan head.Nose shows some nutty, bready and toast malt. A fair bit of milk chocolate too.Flavours include more nutty malt and chocolate, reminiscent of Ferrero Rocher. A little sweet bready malt is present too followed by a subtle roasty bitterness.

This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a one finger off white to tan foamy head that dissipated ever so slowly. Clingy semi-foamy lacing rings around the glass.
The smell takes on roasty cocoa and coffee beans. Light caramel tones slide in underneath.
The taste is roasty and sweet through a nice combination of the cocoa and coffee. Bitter and sweet with a nice robust figure of warmth laying down on my tongue in the aftertaste. Quick roasty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice carbonation about it. Roastiness kicks in on the feel making it slightly dry.
Overall, I’d say this was a pretty good porter that I would have again.
