Draft at the Dark Horse’s annual Crawfish boil. Name listed as AK 47 Chocolate Hazelnut Porter. Pours a very dark brown. Medium sized light tan head. Nutty chocolate aroma. Flavor is of nutty chocolate, more chocolate then nut to me. The nuttiness makes it feel more like a brown to me, however the chocolate flavor and the darker color I guess push it to a porter. Good drinkability. Also had a draft at the Darkhorse tap room approx a month ago, but didn’t take notes. Glad they saved some of this for the Crawfish Boil. Of the special brews that I’ve had at the Dark Horse I could see this one being brewed again (hopefully). As usual Aaron and his crew have come up with another fine beer

Black pour off white thin head ... chocolate and hazelnut light roasted aroma .... taste is of hazelnut with dark chocolate bitterness and thinner roasted coffee with a bitter thin finish .... a weak porter drinks more like a brown ale .... not bad but not great abv hidden pretty well
