Pint pour at World of Beer. Dark, dark brown with full finger creamy tan head. Nose is rich, smooth malts and rich hops. Roasty and toasty. Flavor is lightly sweet with roasted malts, caramel notes and dark sugar. Hops in the background give a good bitter follow up. Really a great beer with good lacing throughout.

Tap at Pegs Cantina. Extremely dark pour with a spotty off-white head. Big roast, pine hop, chocolate - dense and chewy. Delicious!

Pours a dark brown to black with subtle creamy head. Aroma is roasted chocolate, coffee, and a definite piney hop presence. Flavor is huge chocolate and coffee. Sweet and chewey mouthfeel with a surprising hop bitterness. Very good stuff and lots of complexity all the way through.

Four-pack, Total Wine. Pours a deep, somewhat cloudy brown with a small, lasting tan head. Aroma of coffee, raisins, roasted nuts, and some floral hops. A lot of coffee and bitter chocolate in the taste, along with more raisin/fig sweetness, and a heavy hops finish. Really silky mouthfeel, although a little on the thin side. Not sure I’d place it as a porter in a blind taste, but this is pretty damn good.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Certainly hoppy but well balanced. Rich malty profile, chocolate, a hint of lactose. Very smooth and creamy, drinks like a 4% beer. Pairs well with food
