Tap @ Patricks. Quite clear dark brown body with a nice, lacing tan head. Aroma has malt, chocolate, toast and some yeast. Nice and pleasant flavor of sweet, medium roasted malt, toast, chocolate, some fruit and balanced bitterness. Fine body and good aftertaste. A fine rather robust porter that also feels smooth at the same time.

On tap at Patrick’s. A dark, dark brown beer with a dense, small head leaving lacing. The aroma has a good dash of dark dried fruits, some coffee grit and coffee, dark chocolate and a good dash of licorice. Almost more on the stout side I’d say. It’s full bodied and very smooth on the palate, softly carbonated and semi sweet. Lots of licorice in the flavor too, with roasted malts, some dark chocolate and coffee grit. A nice bitterness is lurking in the far back. Some piney hops too. Lasting roasted finish with licorice. An unusual brown ale, but nice anyway. 160415
