UPDATED: MAR 31, 2022 3/30/22 - Memphis, TN - Whole Foods - Poplar Ave - 12 oz bottle. Dark brown, coffee-like pour, mocha head that hangs around a while. Earthy aroma, touch of potting soil, some sweet coffee flavored candy. Good old fashioned porter flavor, some molasses undertones, a touch of bitter coffee, just a hint of chocolate, but not too sweet. Chewy mouthfeel.

UPDATED: JAN 23, 2022 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a tiny khaki head. Aroma is roast, rye spice, some cocoa, and some nuttiness. Taste is roast, spice, chocolate, and some nuts. Medium body. Moderate carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.

UPDATED: JUN 27, 2021 12 oz. bottle from Kroger in Brentwood, TN. Pours a very dark brown cola color with ruby highlights and a tight tan head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Nutty dark malts aroma. Likewise, mostly flavors of dark malts with light nuttiness and no real porter flavor. More like a dark lager or a light brown ale. Very smooth and clean mouthfeel. A bit thin for a porter. Low carbonation. Not bitter. It may not be a great porter, but I like it.
