Flashlight shows a dark ruby hue with solid head retention, smells of chocolate and toffee, with a subtle smokiness underneath. The taste is dark chocolate and molasses, with subtle roasted malts in the background; the mouthfeel is thick and velvety smooth, with a subtle warming sensation. The finish is long but low in bitterness, with flavors of coffee, smoke, and earthy herbal hops. Overall, this is a very good porter and I would love to spend an evening by the fire with good friends and plenty of this beer.
