This porter from America looks like black velvet in the glass. There's a small beige head on top of the dark body that retains a thin layer. It smells amazingly malty with hints of roasted nuts and sweet treacle.
It tastes as malty as it smells with additional notes of liquorice, treacle toffee, roasted nuts and some dark fruit. It has a surprising bitter coffee finish that I didn't mind at first but found it lingered a little too long after a few mouthfuls. It's well carbonated and fizzy with a full body.
It's a lovely rich, dark porter that tastes like it's brewed with a bit of everything to give it a sweet, dry, roasted, nutty and bitter taste. I would have scored it much higher if the aftertaste hadn't been a bit too overpowering for me but it's well worth trying, even though Ale not Be Seeing You again.
