Reviews:

Pour produces two fingers of creamy tan foam that fades fairly quickly. It is a very dark beer but hazy and red when held to the light. Aroma brings a little bit of smoke with hints of coffee too. A sweet beer, as porters should be, but not overpowering. Definite coffee notes hit the tongue with hints of bittersweet chocolate. The brew has a very light mouth feel, with a medium body and a slight bitter finish. The body holds the smokiness like a warm blanket. A lovely and warm brew, indeed.
