500 mL bottle, Greens, Buford Highway, Atlanta, GA, USA. $5.95.
Black pour with some dark brown and a few ruby red highlights. Not much lace, but a decent creamy and spotty head forms on the surface of the beer that is pretty persistent. Good looking.
Aroma has LOTS of sweet malts and caramel notes. Some sweet, sweet liquor in there too.
This is a pretty sweet beer with some smoke character. There are some real sherry like notes in there too, and if you were looking for a description I think I would call this an Old Ale with a little extra hop bitterness. Sherry and warming liquor notes too, but VERY sleek and smooth. No edge to this beer and in that respect a little short on Porter character.
I like this very much, plenty of character and lots of depth and complexity. A high quality product.
