Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Thanks Joe! Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Big nose of whoppers, milk chocolate and vanilla oaky bourbon aromas. Smooth and creamy palate but a touch thin. Booze lingers on the finish with kitkat and dark chocolate that lingers.

Looking forward to this can I got from the market district. Beautiful black porter pour. Nice tan head. Smells a little like a choco malt. First impression of course is dark roasted beer. Burnt like the wood of an old damp campfire from last night, caught in the rain it was. Yes, dark but nit too in yer face, borders on the taste between a sweet stout and a stout. Burn wood effects clear tot he finish.
