Mouthfeel
is smooth and velvety on the tongue with a good dry/bitter kick at the end.
Overall, nice tasting porter that's fairly smooth and creamy at the front and becomes somewhat dry and bitter on the back end. Nice flavor profile comes through that has decent richness, even if overall it's not overly distinctive from other similar porters and stouts. First offering from Port City that I've tried, and it gets a solid thumbs up.
My score: 90
