Nethergate Old Growler

I got this beer from my fiance for my birthday, along with several other that will be reviewed here later.  Well I cracked with one open and poured it into a nice English style pint glass.  Here are my thoughts:

Aroma - Smells of dark fruits, dried figs, prunes, and raisins.  A pleasant slight roasty-coffee edge with a hint of sweetness in there somewhere.

Appearance - Dark brown/black with garnet highlights. A nice tight tan head.

Flavor - Slight roasty coffee with a pinch of sugar followed by some dried figs, maybe a hint of prunes.  Dark burnt caramel.  Fruity esters.

Mouth-feel - Medium-thick, very smooth across the palate.  Carbonation medium-low.

Overall - Very palatable, non-astringent, and great English style Robust Porter.  Easy session beer.
