Flat 12 Bierwerks Pogue's Run Porter

This 5.5% ABV porter is from the Flat 12 Bierwerks of Indianapolis, Indiana. "Locally created in our neighborhood, locally consumed in yours." The drawn character on the bottle looks suspiciously like Shane McGowan, iconic lead singer of the Pogues.

The beer pours black in color, very deep mahogany with ruby tints when held to the light. It has a ridiculously big foamy head, cappuccino in color. The aroma is very dark roasted malt, coffee, dark pure cacao chocolate, with a fruity tang. The taste follows the aromas, very dark roasted, ground coffee, and dark chocolate. The finish is dry with a bit of a tang. The mouthfeel is overcarbonated. The taste on this is awesome, they just need to tame the foaming over carbonation this has out of the bottle. I would love to have this on tap.
