Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger and a half's worth of eggshell white foamy head. Dissipated nicely to leave some nice lace
Aroma: roasted coffee beans, smoky, chocolate malts, some caramel tones and a touch of toast
Flavor: semi-sweet, roasty, semi-smoky and a sly hint of bitterness, slight aftertaste of sweet ash, coffee and smoke
Texture: between light and medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper, some roasty grip but nothing distracting, finishes quick, smoky and roasty
Overall: pretty good porter I would come back to.

Can. A dark brown, unclear beer with a small beige head. The aroma has roasted malts, nuts, caramel, some dark chocolate, hints of bonfire and a hint of licorice. It’s quite dry on the palate, medium to full-bodied, with flavors of roasted malts. Coffee, hints of licorice and bonfire. Lasting finish. Easy drinkable indeed. A bit ordinary though. 210813

4 oz. taster. Aroma and flavor are a mirror. Roasty malt, chocolate, toasted barley. Smoke is subtle. Good body for the style. Above average.

Tap. Nitro pour. At Lawson’s. Nearly black. Dense and creamy, fully lacing, dark beige head. Nose has savoury smoke. Some wood smoke. Fruit and nut chocolate. Taste is sweet and chocolatey. Some dryness. Super smooth and creamy mouthfeel. A tart and vinous bitterness comes through at the end. Really nice.
