Poured from a large bottle into a trumpet glass to drink. The beer had a rich, dark black color with a big creamy dark tan head with great retention, and excellent cling and lacing. Its aroma featured smokey chocolate and coffee tones, with notes of molasses and sugar, along with some earthy and grainy bitterness and tones of licorice. The beer was fairly sweet and malty with some caramel and lighter chocolate tones along with some subtle earthy bitterness. It was a fairly wet and watery beer without a thick or full mouthfeel, but had good lively carbonation.

I was surprised to see this on the shelf since I’ve barely heard of Cisco. Dark black with a fluffy head, looks like a rootbeer float. Smells roasty, delcious. The flavor had chocolate, roast, malts, pretty good. I was surprised how much I liked this but I’m a sucker for a good porter.
