Darker than pale. Smells like a simple fresh lighter beer, almost neutral. Starts out quite mild and then suddenly hits you with a more unexpected bitter flavor. Yes, bitterness continues to build thru the session. Overall, not a bad common, but could use a few manners. Finish is medium bitter lingering bite.

Nice and dark. Smells like black coffee and the first taste is of black coffee. This is a stronger porter laced with coffee of course. Cannot detect the chocolate in this one. Barely any co2. Leaves your mouth with a taste like coffee and old damp partially burnt campfire wood. Not bad overall.
