Sample in a flight at the taproom. Pours black, with a small, brown, head. Smells like a campfire, with some leather, pine, maple syrup, and coffee. Sweet up front, with a dry, smoky, bitter flavor coming forward in the finish. Medium to heavy body, syrupy, smooth, and a bit astringent. This is a very smoky, smooth porter, but the aftertaste is a bit harsh and acrid. Still, pretty nice.
