- Appearance (3)
Great porter appearance; black good dark foamy head
- Aroma (3)
Very Strong aroma. May scare away the casual drinker. Not a bad aroma, a tad on the intimidating side.
- Taste (7) (hop/malt 2, after taste 3, mouth feel 2)
Strong roasty taste, malt comes through over any real hop character throughout. First impression though and it sticks throughout is the roastiness of this brew.
- Overall Impression (2.5)
This is a great beer to have just 1 of; it would be hard to drink more than one of these in a sitting for even an experienced porter drinker. Perfect hanging out and relaxing drink after work. I think it would go rather well with a juicy steak.
Total - 15.5
