Growler shared in Hackney - thanks the rents, who sourced it from the brewery. Pours black-brown with a creamy, tan head. The aroma holds rich roast, coffee grounds, some ash, scorched earth. Light-medium sweet with pleasant, somewhat edgy cocoa, more burnt earth, some raisins, ash. Medium bodied, silky, with fine carbonation. Balanced finish with some bittersweet cocoa, dark chocolate, hearty roast. Great all-around porter.
