Description:

This brew is in the very low range of Porter style gravities. Body is not heavy as you would expect from looking, a nice dark clear colour, and body. Chocolatey, smokey, coffe type dry -earth flavours and aroma from generous use of black malt. Nicely underhopped as per style, Noble German hops remain in the background keeping malt at the forefront.
