32oz swing top growler pours with a dark mahogany colored body that supports a nice looking dark tan head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up nice bacony smoke, a mild dark roasted maltiness, a dash of chocolate malts and then some malt sweetness. Nice. The taste is full and rich and deep with flavor coming from malts, some dark roasted malts, smooth smoky dry bacon on some alderwood and sprinkled with shards of dark chocolate. It picks up additional notes of spicy black licorice and some vague bitter hops. If you’re in the mood for a smoked porter this rich example will do the trick. Nice stuff indeed.
