On tap at Beachwood BBQ. Pours with a deep brown body with a lasting tan head. Aroma is very strong of chocolate with nibs, a berry/fruitiness, and some earthy notes. Flavors are strong of hazelnut with peanut shells (and the associated salt), roast, chocolate earth and fudge. Lively bubbles but a bit thin. Pretty tasty.

Notes combined from a fermenter sample a week ago and from my growler I picked up yesterday. Nose is very roasty, with coffee and chocolate. Cloudy very dark brown with a big tan head. Flavor is coffee up front, with chcolate and caramel in the background. Very nice porter and much less ABV than my favorite KR Class V Stout.
