Handwritten notes: A smoky and loverly beer. I ain't a porter guy... I'm not even a stevedore guy, to be honest, but this hits the spot. It's got a tinny coffee flavour like you'd have around an Old West campfire. Perhaps the reason I can't completely get into this beer is because it is "rich, dark, and complex", which is exactly what I am not.
