This porter was a smash hit. It was something I brewed for my old man because it appears Sleeman's Porter is not going to be resupplied at the Newfoundland Liquor Store. It was drinkable to the extreme, something I find most porters require months of aging to acquire. The roasted barley is barely evident, while the chocolate malt is definitely dominant. Never will I use black malt in my beers again after I discovered the smoothness of the roasted barley. I am going to redo this porter once I get some more Victory malt. One of my best.
