Cold from tap
Pours clear, brown with orange hues, fine light tan head that drops back to the edge, laces nicely
Aroma dark roast coffee/choc, sweet caramel
Mouthfeel moderate body, coats, fairly clean at end with slight cloy
Flavor complex, roast dominant, ripe fruity underneath, mild bite at finish
Finish slight coating, hops bite but don't quite clean it up, slight astringent roastiness on back of tongue
Overall more roasty than expected, a bit dry, could use more esters (ferment a bit warmer), less roasted malt. Otherwise bump hops and call it porter.
