Taste is the same, with and underlying flavor of chocolate and caramel. Mouthfeel is a bit lacking. Overall a disappointment, but my first beer from Deschutes.

Bottle poured in pint glass at Strange Brew coffeehouse in Austin. If you're in the mood for a Porter, this is one damn good beer. Aftertaste like really good dark chocolate. Thick taste but fairly light. Not as milkshake-like as many a porter.

12 oz bottle. Dark brown with a tan head. Nose is coffee bean, chocolate and brown sugar. Medium body with foamy carb and a fluffy mouthfeel; too many bubbles. Pretty tasty with coffee, chocolate and molasses but lacking some richness. Finishes with light smoke and hints of citrus peel.
