UPDATED: AUG 7, 2022 Bottle at share. Dark brown pour with a small, fluffy tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Taste stays the course, light bitterness with rich roasty grain flavors.

UPDATED: JUL 14, 2022 Bottle from Beers of America. A deep/dark brown coloured pour with a healthy beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate, coffee taste and aroma. A decent bitter tasting porter from Three Floyds, almost a black IPA.

UPDATED: MAY 20, 2022 Pours opaque dark coffee brown; dark khaki head. Aroma is dark chocolate. Taste is a big dose of roasted coffee, and hints of chocolate and sweetness. Lots of hop-bitter as well. Palate medium to heavy, long finish. Dominant features are deep roast and a hop bitter. Temperature matters with this one... too cold and the sweet chocolate notes are overwhelmed by the dark roast bitter. A little warmer and they play role. Overall, excellent - though I agree with others who challenge the the 'porter' designation - The heavy hop bill (apparently signature 3Floyds) accentuates the hop component of Porter. Also FYI - the packaging says 7.3 ABV.

UPDATED: JAN 2, 2022 It pours very dark brown with a brown head. Head retention is very good. There are chocolate aromas with citrus hops and roast. There is a very low burnt quality to it with some floral notes. It has plenty of roast in the flavor with a bit of chocolate. There are citrus elements with some light floral and low pine. There is a very low burnt element well into the background. It has a medium full body with plenty of bitterness in the finish. There is a slight edge to the roast in the finish, but not harsh. Overall, it almost drinks like a black IPA, but the roast certainly makes is a worthwhile porter.

UPDATED: DEC 17, 2021 Dark brown/metallic pour, tan head. Aroma is brown sugar and malts. Flavor is of a robust amber ale, with a mild carbonated finish.

UPDATED: DEC 4, 2021 This is a black IPA ... not a porter in any way.. Its a good black IPA, but should be rated as such. Typical for style malty and hoppy spot on. Thin fading head. Enjoyable.

UPDATED: NOV 14, 2021 Bottle. A- Roasty, smoke, charred wood, slightly hoppy. A- Black color, black liquid, beige head. T- Roasty, smoke, umami, char, bitter, cocoa. P-Full body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly bitter finish. O- Tasted more like a traditional RIS, didn't get a lot of Christmas spice. Not bad.

UPDATED: OCT 29, 2021 Pours a dark brown with a tan foam head. Aroma is earth, roast, and chocolate. Flavor is bitter roast and chocolate. Pretty good.

UPDATED: OCT 25, 2021 Grabbed a bottle from Julios. Dark pour and ok sized head. Law is light roast and molasses. Tastes of ash, brown sugar, bitter dark chocolate, earthy, licorice. Lighter bodied than expected.

UPDATED: JUN 5, 2021 Christmas in June. 12 oz. bottle from Craft Brewed in Nashville, TN. Pours a super dark brown color with a large tight light brown head and great retention. Great lacing too. Coffee and treacle/molasses aroma. Similar flavors: Roasted coffee and malts are dominant with a strong treacle/molasses finish. Medium-heavy body. Semi-slick mouthfeel. Low carbonation and light bitterness. Classic porter, but too much molasses for me.
