Distinctive 12 oz. bottle with no mention of bottled/best by date or ABV. Poured into a snifter.
Pours dark brown, looks black in the glass. Good brown head forms; medium retention and medium lacing. Aroma is very very fruity... it'd have been hard to tell that it's a porter based on the aroma alone... not enough "darkness" in it so to speak, at least at the first impression. That said, quite delicious with plenty of sweet, baked notes. Toffee most certainly.
A little rough taste with lots of edges with fruitiness up there and sweetness following closely. Medium roast at the back keeping the finish clean and slightly charred. Mouthfeel? Creamy enough although carbonation could be a tad lower. Overall? A good option when you're stuck in beer wasteland but that's about it.
