Tap at Back Road Fall Fest. Light apple and chocolate aroma. Deep chestnut with a small beige head. Roasty malt, apple, and light ash flavor - the apple was bordering towards acidic/vinegary flavor. Light body. Overall, very light and not a typical porter. The brewer said that early on the beer had a chocolate flavor, which apparently faded as it aged, because I simply couldn’t taste it.
