This brew packs a bear hug of maltiness with intense notes of fine roasted coffee, dark chocolate, molasses and cacao, yet with a lingering sweetness and hints of raisin and plum that round out the malt character. Moderate hop additions provide a floral, herbal, and earthy counterpart to the malt in both flavour and aroma. All this topped with peach and dried fruit esters combine to make this a full-bodied yet extremely drinkable porter.

On tap. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, dried fruit and molasses with a mild, bitter coffee finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Well balanced and tasty.

tap, summer 2016 rating - Pours very dark brown with a small head. It smells of roasted malt and coffee. The flavor is mainly roasted malt. It's pretty thin for a porter. Overall it's okay, I guess. High ratings here make me wonder if I just got a bad one.

I think this beer is really good for the style. There's nothing wrong about it.. Full bodied and all the proper porter flavours. But nothing extraordinary to set it apart. Sugar bowl edm. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
