Beer Review: Fade to Black by Left Hand

Left Hand is kind of a quirky brewer, and I've always liked there offerings, and as the cliche goes, this is no exception. Fade to Black  is a smoked Baltic porter, with a smokiness that is obvious yet not overwhelming. The color is a deep midnight black, 1 1/2 finger head that dissipates to some dark tan lacing. Overtones include a rich cocoa aroma, as well as some caramel and cafe latte. Of course, the name is great too.
