A black ale with hints of cocoa and espresso. Full-bodied and roasty, with mild hop character. A dry finish and moderate ABV keeps you coming back for more.

Can from Oliver's Beverage Center. Opaque dark brown, light sparkle and viscosity, ring of head, trace lacing. Aroma is strong, earthy roasted malt, chocolate, toffee/hint of molasses, late slightly tart quality. Taste is earthy malt with strong, almost tart quality similar to aroma, hint of dark fruit, late roast. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Taste and aroma both suffer from a slightly tart aspect--taste especially. Some nice features otherwise and decent strength for ABV.

Barwa ciemno brązowa z rubinowymi prześwitami. Piana brązowa, drobno pęcherzykowa, wysoka i trwała. Delikatnie krążkuje.
Aromat oczywiście palony, ciemne słody kakao, gorzka czekolada, nuty ziemiste, nieco korzenne, tytoń.
Smak generalnie wytrawny z odrobiną nut kwaskowych. Goryczka palona, ziemista, trawiasta, korzenna.
Wysycenie średnie w dół. Tekstura niemal gładka. Ciało średnie, nie wyższe. Posmak średnio długi wytrawny, ziemisty, korzenny.

Draft. Poured dark with a beige head. Malty aroma, kind of sweet. Not really that memorable otherwise.

Bottle at a JFK Airport Bar, New York. Basic but proper classic Porter aroma of coffee, milk chocolate, roasted malt, and some caramel. Moderate sweet and roasty bitter, light creaminess. Medium body. Just good, invites drinking.

Draught at Beer Garage Brooklyn, small bubbly head, dark brown colour, mainly dark bready with some roasted notes and chocolate behind, quite light. Simple but highly drinkable.

On tap at La Guardia. Pours a near clear dark brown with a yellowish brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dark grains and light roast with a hint of chalky chocolate underlying. Flavor has earthy dark grains and musty roast with a touch of chocolate backing.

Pours pitch black with tan bubbles tracing up the side, little to no head. Aroma of toasted grain, herbal. Taste has more toasted grain notes, chocolate, barley, some hints of smoke. Palate has a watery mouthfeel and has more cocoa and smoke notes that linger on the nose. Good.
