Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall light brown head that stays afloat for quite a while, but has large bubbles. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, nuts, earth, coffee and a small dose of liquid smoke. Medium-bodied; Quite dry flavour at first with a heavy hand of earth, malt, nuts, grain, oatmeal and a lot of bitterness from hops - very nice towards the end with a good robust and rounded flavour that shows a lot of effervescence as well, but the hops dominate, in a very good way! Aftertaste shows the robust malt flavours with oatmeal, peat, earth, nuts, caramelised sugars, coffee, light chocolate and somehow - a good deal of hops which kind of overwpower the matls. Overall, a very nice and robust beer that has a lot of carbonation, yet a proper balance, especially for a porter versus a stout, and shows the complex malt notes throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from the brewpub itself in Merrifield, Virginia on 23-January-2019 by my hockey teammate, which was poured/canned while you wait, as a six-pack [albeit evidently quite expensive], sampled at home in Washington on 09-April-2019 - Thanks Jacob!

Light and a touch earthy, with some tropical fruit finish. Very light, but quenching, perhaps even more-so when the tempature gets warmer.
