This brew packs a bear hug of maltiness with intense notes of fine roasted coffee, dark chocolate, molasses and cacao, yet with a lingering sweetness and hints of raisin and plum that round out the malt character. Moderate hop additions provide a floral, herbal, and earthy counterpart to the malt in both flavour and aroma; all this, topped with peach and dried fruit esters, combine to make this a full-bodied, yet extremely drinkable, porter.

On tap. Pours an opaque black with a small, creamy, short lived, beige head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, raisin, coffee and earth. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, raisin, plum, molasses, earth and ash in a dry, mild bitter, coffee finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Malt forward and didn't get any spruce or pine notes. A pretty tasty Porter otherwise.
