Pours a solid black with a creamy tan head that shows moderate retention. Smells of chocolate and caramel mostly with a nondescript earthy spicy component. Hints of rye do come out a bit as she warms. Taste is pretty straight forward for a porter, lots of chocolate and caramel with a bit of earthy hops for balance. There is a long lingering spice component in the finish that is subtle, but it is there. Medium to thick body with a creamy smooth mouthfeel and a light to moderate level of carbonation. This is a nice porter great if you consider the sub 6 dollar price tag. The Rye is there, but very subtle and adds a bit of complexity but could be a little more present.

Pours black into a shaker. Mocha head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface leaving sheet lacing. Dark chocolate and rye aromas. Creamy with dark chocolate and espresso upfront turning to pumpernickel before the lasting charred resin finish.
