Pours very dark brown with a light tan head that laces well. The aroma is of dark roast malt, chocolate, and coffee. The flavor is very roasty and coffee rich. It's well balanced and finishes with lingering dark roast coffee character. The coffee came through so well that I asked if coffee was added to the brew and was assured that it was not. It's slightly more carbonated than I preferred but overall a really good porter.
