Proper pint at the brewery. Pours black, with a medium, foamy, beige head. The aroma is cocoa powder, chalk, mild coffee, pecans, pine, and leather. Fairly dry, with a strong, roasty bitterness. Light to medium body, smooth, clean, and sticky. Easy, quality porter.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Almost opaque dark brown black beer, small bubbly tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. The dark malts are dry but contain a good amount of lacto coffee cappuccino and a little espresso. Light semi dry finish. Nice coffee beer, a tad dry.
