gentleman porter

Naparbier has had its ups and downs in my sampling.  They do try to be creative, though, and that's always something to support.  I couldn't help grabbing this bottle with that eye catching label:
That beard, that bowler, that monocle...!
It comes out beautiful black and smooth, with a spongy head of nice tan color.  Twangy porter smell.  Mild and round taste, almost milky, sweet but not tart or overpowering.  It's more delicate than many porters I've tasted.  Fine base of earthiness.  Hint of dark chocolate, very dark.  It stays smooth and highly drinkable all the way through the glass, a very pleasant beer to sip after a long day, or even a short one.
Oh, it's one of those deep beers
