Draft sample with a great dry roasted nose of chocolate and ground coffee. Nice thicker \ fuller body. Really great flavor for a under 7 % ABV porter. Nice layers of dark malts with a creamy Nitro pour, well it takes like it was on Nitro. Smooth as all hell.

Pitch black throughout. Nose is creamy, chocolate and espresso bean. Very creamy mouthfeel. Wish it was a bit sharper (think HFS everett) but the signs are all there to be a great porter. Burnt oak finish
