2000 beers and no end in sight. This porter is a mostly clear dark brown-black color with a medium thick and rocky light tan head that diminishes steadily. Patchy lacing on the glass. Strong hazelnut and peanut brittle aroma with a touch of malt. Medium-bodied and chewy at times with flavors of hazelnut, malt and chocolate, with lightly bitter hops in the background. The finish is more hazelnut with a nutty and cocoa-flavored aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
