Draft at Street, Portsmouth, NH. Almost black color without any head. Aroma is cocoa, old coffee and weak roasted grains.
Flavor is mild coffee with some chocolate, weak roasted malt notes and a light bitterness on the finish. Also has a touch of sourness that doesn’t really fit here. Lighter body / almost too thin. Not bad in anyway just your standard everyday porter.

Keg pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is nice very very dark brown opaque pour with finger-width off-white head and attractive lacing. Aroma is roasted malts with small amount of cocoa. Taste begins as medium roasted malts which then strangely morphs into moderately tart second half. Palate is light bodied with thin texture with average carbonation and tart finish. Overall, this starts off looking gorgeous and smelling nice but the wheels kind of fall off with the taste and palate that are strange for style.

Pours deep brown into a snifter. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Chocolate aromas. Dry with dark berries and mocha front to back. Lasting espresso finish.
