The Review:

Appearance:  Pours black with a thick tan head that dissipated slowly.  The only thing visible through this dark brew are tiny bubbles raising around the edges of the glass.

Aroma:  I smell toasted chocolate and and burnt coffee malts in a big way.

Taste:  The first thing I noticed was a wave of hops making their presence known.  In the back of my mouth I am tasting caramel and roasted malts.

Mouthfeel: There is refreshing carbonation hitting you right in the mouth with each sip.  I was surprised with the amount of carbonation coming through with this one.

Overall:  Overall, this is a solid porter.  Great way to introduce yourself to porters and I highly recommend it.
