675ml brown bottle from Oliver Square. Label states best before Jun, bottle purchased in early March. Label is standard Brewsters seasonal label with a "P" written in marker on it. I seem to remember "Kona" in the title, hoping this is the same beer. Pours deep brown, winey red highlights. Head is tan, sparse, fades fast, leaves no lace. Beer is a bit oily looking. Nice coffee aroma, some chocolate. Flavour begins with a bit of sweet dark chocolate, black coffee, light hops and roasty notes in the finish. Body somewhat light, as is level of carbonation. Nice effort from Brewsters.

This is back on tap as a seasonal. Had copious amounts of espresso notes in the beer such that I can’t get through them with my measly palate to find the underlying beer. Seems to be a decent porter under there somewhere but I can’t get over the espresso. I happen to love coffee and espresso in beer so I still enjoyed it.
