Growler brought down to FL by my sister. Pours dark dark brown with brown edges and light mocha head. The aroma comes across as mild at times and then surges up briefly bringing roasty to mildly burnt malts and a hint of nuttiness. The taste seems sessionable, smooth and pretty tasty with burnt to roasty malts that mingle together and grow some to midway. It kind of thins out as the finish draws and the flavor blend of roasty to burnt malts recedes. Not exactly the Perfect Porter as the name may suggest.

Cask. Great dark brown thick color. Small amount of head. Smells very sweet, with some fruit and raisin flavor. This beer is way too weak. Granted this is a lighter style, but it has a watery, soft texture and the flavor thins out way too much. Notes of raisins, figs, some cherry. A weird medium acidic malty taste to the body. Finishes with some brown sugar. Maybe Im just spoiled after trying Bells 5000 last weekend, but this dosent add up. Smoke flavor too muddled with a very sweet flavor.
