22oz bottle at the April Fools Day DC Ratebeer tasting. Poured a dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma was roasted malts, some nutty notes, chocolate character. Creamy, light chocolate. Decent.

Thanks Frank.
This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a black color with a light brown/tan foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace. Sly messy lace.
The aroma had some earthy to grainy sweet tones flowing over some dark roasty cocoa beans.
The flavor blended the sweet graininess to the earthy hops and roasty cocoa beans. Gentle to crisp sweet sort of light chocolate aftertaste with a quick sly finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. ABV felt appropriate as the brewer intended.
Overall, nice porter for the most part. I’d probably have again if I was able to get it.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a ruddy semi-dark red color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace. Sly ridged lacing.
The aroma had a biscuity/caramel malty sweetness with some nuts and dark fruits.
The flavor takes all of those previously mentioned aromas to blend nicely with a touch of earthiness hitting to blend on into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine and the ABV felt fine.
Overall, this was a nice strong ale, perhaps leaning towards an English style instead of an American as there seemed barely any hop bite.
