22 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours fairly clear nearly opaque dark brown color with a 1-2 finger dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa, molasses, honey, toffee, toast, brown bread, light plum/apple, light herbal, and roast/toast/yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, honey, yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of milk chocolate, cocoa, molasses, honey, toffee, toast, brown bread, light plum/apple, light herbal, and roast/toast/yeast earthiness. Light herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, molasses, honey, toffee, toast, brown bread, light plum/apple, light herbal, and roast/toast/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, balance, and robustness of dark/roast/bready malt, honey, yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth and creamy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice English brown porter style. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, honey, yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
