ABV: 5.5%

Ticks: 6

A rich, dark, complex, full-bodied porter with hints of dark chocolate, raisins, black licorice, and currents on the palate, and a smoky, sour finish. Unlike conventional ales which go from fermenter to serving tank fully carbonated and under pressure, cask ales leave the fermenter flat, and are transferred to a cask along with unfermented malt. In the cask, the ale goes through a secondary fermentation which leaves it gently carbonated. Stored and hand pulled at cellar temperature (53 - 58 degrees).

Non Beer Trip Beer Trip Beer #80. Cask at the brewpub, 3/12/16. Dark brown, thin foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, mild clay. The taste is chocolate, nuts, lactose, caramel, roasted malts. Low carbonation, smooth, highly drinkable.

Cask at the brewpub. Poured black with a medium brown head. Aroma was full of malts, with chocolate and licorice present. Flavor was full of dark chocolate notes with a bit of raisin underneath, but don’t pick up and sourness as in the description.

On cask at the brewpub. Pours dark brown to black with a bubbly brown head. Aromas of dark roasty coffee and cocoa. Flavor is similar, with roasted coffee and dark cocoa, lots of roasty bitterness. Medium bodied, but with a watery mouthfeel. Nice flavors, but boring palate.

cask at brewpub - Pours black with a tan head. The aroma is mainly chocolate and roast malt. There’s lots of dark chocolate in the roast malt led flavor. It has a medium body and a sweet, creamy finish.

On cask at Arbor, and served at an appropriate temperature! Deep opaque brown body, medium-thick creamy tan head. Rich aroma of coffee, chocolate, dark fruits, and molasses, with a lactose-like sweetness. Creamy, soft body with a medley of toast, roasted malts, milk chocolate, dark fruit, molasses, and unfermented sugars. Smooth and complex. One of the better porters I’ve tried, and perhaps the most quaffable.
