Draft: Poured a clear black color porter with a nice large foamy brown head with good retention and some alight lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with light black chocolate notes is enjoyable. Taste is a nice enjoyable mix of roasted malt with some black chocolate notes with some light residual sugar notes. Body is light with good carbonation. Well brewed porter that is brewed within style guideline.

Sweet smell with a foamy head. Interesting palate. Tastes kind of like an IPA if most of the hops were removed.
