From a tap on site in a glass and also had a can, both were very very good and I think of myself as an expert in civilized porter. This stuff pours like Guinness, no lie. First taste is bitter chocolate with a tad of strength, but no real hint of the 8% in this one, be careful! Yes, an aroma that is mouth watering roasty porter, anticipating its arrival on the the tongue for each swig. Oh my, so much heavenly porter effects and this truly is a porter. OK, so it borders on baltic porter but its a little more civilized & well behaved, none the less. Satisfying dark beer fun without treading into the impy stout arena. Nice job HT! I’m diggen this!
