Handwritten notes: Oh, Winter of 09/10 I hardly knew ye. Here we are, a drizzle-filled melt-fest and all I can do is grip onto the last vestiges of winter and this lovely Porter. This is a very clean tasting Porter, it's there, it's powerful, and it's gone. Just like old man winter. This is a smoky and strong tasting porter, that lingers just long enough, and is gone like the four-foot snowbanks outside my window. Very nice, Tree brewing. Very etcetera.
