This was one named for my brother who recently quit his job. The original idea was for it to be dark and bitter but I've had hop overload after a summer of bitters. In reality this a nice, straight-forward yet charismatic porter with a touch of sweetness. But at least it is very dark, like the heart of my brother's former boss!
