Why I tried this: I had tried this beer a long time ago when I was up in Savannah at a Scottish pub. As it would turn out, this is a Scottish porter, making it a ripe choice for a rather inebriated me. It wasn't on tap so I decided to get it in bottle and see if it was as good as I had remembered.Smell: Dark, roasted malts hit the nose, followed by a hint of chocolate, coffee, and fruits that I could not decipher. An overall complex and dark mix. Right up my alley.
Taste: Roasted, malty, chocolaty. Simpy delicious. The beer goes down thick, kind of giving a little credence to the name. The flavor is very rich and enjoyable all the way down.
Overall, I'd give this beer an empty glass rating, because it was honestly just fantastic. The roasted malts and chocolate just make such a nice, strong flavor. The smell complements the flavor by being more of the same. It's thick, and it's just damn good. Strongly recommend!
