What Our Editors Thought
“Semisweet chocolate aroma, supported by a dark pour and persistent brown foam. Silky and refined, with toffee sweetness balanced by malt-driven bitterness, finishing moderately attenuated with a gentle touch of sweetness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Bold aroma of boozy raisins, dark chocolate, coffee, light caramel, and a touch of tobacco. Sweet black-malt flavors on the palate with layers of dark cherry, chocolate, and dark-roast coffee. Sweet, roasty, and bitter.”
What the Brewers Say
“A malt-forward robust porter brewed with all-English malts, hops, and yeast.”
