Dark brown with a big head. The aroma is vague, with light chocolate. The palate is light, again a little bit chocolatey. Again, though, there is an infection here and you have to look past the faults if you want any enjoyment.

Bottled. Dark brown, rich firm head. Striking early coffee aroma. Dryish and light bodied. Roasty with soft mouthfeel. The pleasant roasty/earthy malt flavour carries this beer. The hops are playing second fiddle, but some nice bitterness are noted late in the finish. Perhaps a little more body could’ve brought this porter up another level, but already as is it is a fine, unusually quaffable porter with a lot of depth.
