This traditional English style medium-bodied, dark & roasty brew has a great hops aroma which come from the three different UK Hops used in brewing. Slow, cold aging on oak brings out a very smooth flavor with a hint of vanilla.

Sampler @ the brewpub. It is black with a sticky tan lacing. Aroma is rich with chocolate and lots of coffee-like fumes. Almost a berry-like sweetness coming through as well. Taste is nicely dried out (the biggest impact of the barrel that I noticed) and a burst of bitter and rich chocolate at the end. Very flavorful and easy drinking (loving the medium abv as well). Its full of many different aspects that meld well together.

From Skyview. A dry, malty porter. Thick, but fairly plain flavor without anything special. It does have moderate roasted malt, and a very good, heavy palate. Dry finish.
