Appearance: Dark mahogany, not quite black. with a nice tan head that dissipates a little too quickly but leaves a thin coating of bubbles on the surface of the beer.
Aroma: I get the fruity smell of Columbus hops and a malty-sweet aroma. An interesting mix. Gets maltier as it warms.
Taste: Hoppy up front, mixed with sweet, chocolate, roasty flavors. Bitter at the end. The flavors may not meld together super smoothly, but overall it works. In the taste I would say the roasty quality dominates over the hops.
Mouthfeel: Thick and chewy. Moderate carbonation
Overall: A pretty complex porter with a significant hop character, lots of roasty-chocolatey malt flavors, and a thick body. N
Not sure how closely it matches the real King Titus at this point, but nevertheless a pretty enjoyable brew.
