Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, smooth and velvety deep brown head that starts at about three centimetres tall and fades to a single centimetre layer on top of the 80 per cent opaque deep brown body - very nice looking. Aroma of rich squash with some lighter allspice and canella scents along with a dash of toasted oatmeal and plentiful malts, all ending with seemingly a big sweetness from caramelised sugars and molasses - very nice smelling as well. Medium-bodied; Big malt richness up front with a big squash bite and a good level of spices that hit up front and finish with a light kick of acidity, but the oatmeal and toasted garains are perhaps the strongest here and some light spices come out as well, pretty nicely. Aftertaste is enjoyable with a good balance throughout, with a good layer of sweetness showing up front with a lot of molasses and caramelised sugars with some raw sugar as well, but the alcohol comes out a bit at the end, however the squash and malts balance this out nicely throughout. Overall, a very nice porter that is somehow light enough at 5,0 per cent alcohol, but pungent enough in spices, malts and sugars to make this complex and rich with a good pungency throughout - great for the style and well worth trying to find, especially in season! I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from Glen Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 05-September-2022 for US$1,00! and sampled exactly a month later here in my hotel room here in Reston, Virginia on 05-October-2022.
