Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours dark brown with minimal head. The nose is toasty, earthy roast, mild acidity, dark fruits, fruit compote, light jam and light spice. The taste is smooth, toasty, earthy, leather, dark roast, caramel, sweet coffee, cocoa and pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Simple and drinkable porter. Not bad.

On tap at The American Craft Beer Fest Yesterday. Rich chocolatey sweet roasty porter, I’d drink the crap out of these if they were sold in NH.

Draft / guest tap @ Willimantic Brewpub. Nose is light caramel candy and weak notes of chocolate. No surprises with the flavor it is exactly as it smells. Melted caramel candy with a chocolate finish. I understand I’m drinking a porter and not a stout but... The body is ridiculously thin and watery. This would be much improved with some more fullness. The flavor itself is respectable yet not memorable.
