Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a black color with a creamy white to off white foamy head. Dissipates at a nice pace. Sly messy lace.
The aroma starts off with a thick sweet milk chocolate and a huge amount of sweet vanilla. Light roasty tones.
The flavor leans to the sweet side. Sly roasty coffee to milk chocolate aftertaste with finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with an exceptionally smooth feel about it. Low carbonation.
Overall, pretty good porter that I could have again, definitely a dessert porter if anything.

A deep dark porter with a thick moka head. A light chocolate ball with the ever present chlorine. In mouth, a sweetish vanilla chocolate, lightly wild but overall thin and boring. On tap at brewpub, Dec. 26 2008.
