Black pour, rocky beige head.
Pine hops, light roast. Flavor is more of the same. The pine, resinous hops seem to over power, and the roastiness is weak, and gets pushed aside. Seems like its more of a hoppy american porter. Its lacking the roast i come to expect in this style. Netherworld from flying monkeys is still my go to example of the style.

This has bitterness. Hoppy flavour and a little dark cream on the palate. Smells hoppy with a little alcohol. Some roast malt in the taste Malt has a little bit of a caramelized finish as well. Bottle

(500mL bottle from the LCBO) Served cool in a nonic pint. Very dark brown pour with 2cm of tan head, a little sediment seen in the bottle during the pour. Aromas of chocolate, quite sweet toasty malts, some mango/citrus hops. Palate initially chocolate/dark malts like a porter or stout but with a decent helping of citrus hops, towards the finish resiny pine bitterness kicks in with more toasted flavours and a little yeast earthiness but a core of sweet malt remains throughout. Mouthfeel is moderate, a little oily with fine carbonation, could be richer. From my experience a good shot at a tough style, like the porter and hops elements both but the integration is not always harmonious. Still a nice beer.

Bottle: Poured a a clear black color ale with nice dirty foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of citrus hops is quiet dominant with some very subtle roasted malt. Taste is also a nice mix between some citrus and bitter hoppy notes with some roasted notes and light caramel notes as well. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well done and something I would drink often if I had easy access.
