Can at home. Pours a rather deep brown with a beige head. Nose is dark chocolate, cocoa powder and toffee. Taste is dark chocolate, light coffee notes, cocoa powder and a faint herbal touch. Moderately bitter. Closes with a bitterish, chocolatey finish, has a light body and soft carbonation. The roasted notes were a bit over the top for my liking, but a solid porter anyway.
