This porter poured a deep amber colour with a creamy, tan coloured head. Minimal lacing. Scents include sweet malt, caramel and a little black cherry. First swig was smooth and sweet with light roasted flavour and tastes of caramel, molasses and a little cherry. Finish is sweet with subtle hop bitterness lingering.
