12oz can. Can bottom is stamped 'PKGD ON AUG05 22'.
Deep brown colored body, with wide margin of mahogany back lit edge. One finger of light tan head. Leaves behind a few spots of lacing.
Aroma of roasted malts with coffee.
Taste is sweet roasted malt with coffee. Slightly bitter coffee in the aftertaste.
Medium mouth feel. Smooth finish. Very good carbonation.
Low key coffee flavored porter. Kind of fits with the North Shore surf action.

Very Dark Brown, like black coffee, With a modest tan head that recedes quickly to just a thin ring The aroma is roasted malt, chocolate and coffee.
The taste is coffee, smooth and very nice, chocolate and roasted malt. The coffee is predominant but not overbearing, a very nice balance and very good coffee.
The body is light, moderate carbonation, smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether a very tasty and enjoyable brew. a very nice relaxing beer.

This porter struck me as lighter in feel/richness than I would consider ideal. Very easy going down though, especially on 70 degree evening on the North Shore. I lived in Hawaii 2 years serving Uncle Sam. The highlight with this brew for me was the wonderfully subltle presence of the coffee. Delicious. Some coffee Stouts overwhelm me with coffee taste. Nice touch Kona.

12oz can PKGD ON AUG08 22 poured into a juice glass at fridge temp 5.3% ABV per can. The beer pours opaque medium brown with mahogany highlights and light brown head. The head recedes to a thin ring and single layer of bubbles. The aroma is mild with cocoa and coffee. The taste is bittersweet roasted malt with more cocoa and (slight) coffee. Mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, good.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours pitch black with a small light brown head. Smells of chocolate with just a hint of coffee. Tastes of coffee with nice chocolate notes. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

From the can, it poiurs a clear dark brown color with amodest light brown head that soon reduces to a nice ring. The nose gets a does of coffee followed by roasted malts. The mouth follows the nose.

Note: Don't drink this one too cold! Nose disappears!
