The New World Porter poured an opaque midnight black. It had a monstrous brown head that had good staying power and laced the glass.
The aroma is chocolate and fruity hops with a touch of fig.
The taste is chocolate malt, with some big bitter hops, and a hint of citrus. Some figs come out as the beer warms. It has a strong burnt, chalky, slightly metallic taste/mouthfeel that mellows some with time. If not for this, this would be a top notch brew.
Overall this is a very different/interesting brew. It's kind of an IPA and porter mix.
