A: Pours a deep dark rich black. Nice tall tan head with good retention and lace.

S: Loads of roasted malt and rich chocolate. Light coffee with some dark fruit and a touch of molasses.

T: Wonderfully roasted. Loads of chocolate with strong espresso notes. Hints of smoke and pipe tobacco. Bold and roasty goodness.

M: Medium in body, uber roasty, a bit bitter and dry in the finish.

D: Nice and drinkable. Love this one and the Jose Marti.

I’ve had this on draft at the brewery and from a 1 gallon growler multiple times since I was at the brewery eight days ago. This particular is from some of the beer from the growler which was siphoned into a wine bottle, corked and sealed with wax. It has held up incredibly well. Served in a pint glass.
A: Black and brown beer with little head (same as from brewery).
S: Roasted malts and caramel.
T: Malty, caramel and some small notes of vanilla and that sweetness that Cigar city dark beers have. Not as evident as Marshal Zhukov but still there.
M: A little bit of a coffee taste and the same roasted, caramel goodness that accompanies the rest of the beer.
O: This is a great porter that has held up extremely well since I bought it. I wish this was bottled because it rivals some of the better six pack porters that I like as regular everyday beers (Founders, Ballast point…).

Great smooth taste with bitter notes of toffee and chocolate. Subtle beginnings but the after taste is amzing, tasting every flavor once is washes over your tounge.
