Deep pitch black coloured body with a nice thin velvety tan head. Aroma of tons of roasted malt, alcohol, coffee and a bit of light spices. Medium to Full-bodied; Pungent roasty malt flavours throughout with a hint of rye and a lot of coffee and nuttiness. Aftertaste shows some nice spices, a bit of caramel, some toffee, lactic notes and a lot of alcohol and roasted malt flavours. Overall, a very nice porter with some great flavours and of course a great texture - nice to finally try a 3 stars beer, and this one was nice! I sampled this pint on draught at Iron Horse in Washington, DC on 30-November-2012.

Tap. Pours opaque deep brown to black, almost no head and no lacing. Strong room filling aroma of coffee, deep roasted malts, whiskey and charcoal. Flavor is smokey dark roasted malt, espresso, a bit of dark bitter chocolate. Medium sweet with a light coffee-bitter finish. Almost no carbonation, but a silky smooth full body. ABV is well hidden until the far finish, where it provides some warming. A very nice beer.

10oz pour at Big Hunt is a thick, opaque black with one ring of beige head. Nose has plenty of coffee, come molasses, malt, very sugary sweet, a little plastic. Flavor is over the top malt, sugary sweetness, molasses, toasted bread. Just a malt bomb. Way to sweet, too much alcohol. This probably would have been a lot better at 6.6%alc or 7.6% rather than the listed 9.6%.
