Commercial Description:
A mild bitterness and a spicy aroma balance this perfect blend of caramel, coffee, and subtle roasted malt flavors. This brew emphasizes smooth, chocolatey goodness. A complex malt body gives this porter its robust character. Hops are present, yet almost untraceable on the foreground of the palate. Beneath a solid head of dark tan, our porter is black in color and highlighted with auburn hues. This brew tastes as deep as it looks and at 6% ABV, is stronger than most in its class. Dedicated to Shastafarians near and far, we salute the mountain that unites and refreshes us all.

great drinkable offering from a hodump brewery. if you are even in weed, you will grateful for this beer! pours dark drown with a head that rises and falls quickly. nice lacing. aroma is roast, resin, chocolate, and some earthy, musty notes. taste is very similar, lots of chocolate present, bitter malts, sweet malts, but nothing too attention grabbing. some slight dark fruitnnkotes are there. the mouth is medium creamy, pretty nice all the way through. pretty sessionable beer, probably even for non geeks.
