Poured into a glass mug.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown color close to black with a sly finger's worth of white foamy head sliding off fairly nice. Sliding lace.
The aroma had a huge milk chocolate sweetness up front with some light notes of caramel and coffee tones. Slight roast.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side with the milk chocolate pummeling some of the bitter notes that tried to come out. Slight aftertaste of milk chocolate.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation and ABV. Fine sweet smooth milk chocolate finish.
Overall, a very nice dessert porter. I'd have again.

A favorite in my household (we can get it straight from the brewery), it is also served at several local restaurants and bars. Not as good from a bottle.
Look: Dark beer with a solid and creamy head.
Smell: Exactly as the name suggests. Chocolate. Also a slight malt/grain.
Taste: Same as the smell. Chocolate with a slight malt.
Feel: Creamy, but fades rather quickly.
Overall: A growler of this shows up at almost every party we attend. Either we bring it or somebody else does!

A nice Chocolate Porter - almost a taste of Mocha up front.

Poured from a bomber, no freshness info.
Appearance: 3 fingers of light tan head sit atop a completely black body, some lacing left behind and a fat creamy ring left.
Smell: Rich chocolate, brownies, nice but could have more intensity.
Taste: Mix of chocolate syrup, milk chocolate, creamy, some cocoa.
Mouthfeel: Initial sip is full but as soon as i swallow, no lingering feeling.
Overall: An average porter that does have chocolate but it`s one -dimensional and the feel could be fuller. Good but not great.
