Bottle at Rathskeller in Indianapolis.

Very cool porter/ale mashup. Has a molasses/cinnamon thing going on, but carbonation and pineyness make it very drinkable. Really like.

Good beer ... high alcohol content not noticeable in taste ... not highly hopped ... not overly sweet like many strong beers

Nice brown body, mostly opaque, dark, with minimal head and lacing, tan in color. Nose is roast, caramel and earthy hops. Solid malt flavors, bread and molasses, with a brisk and spicy close. Decent.

Had on-tap at the Yard House in Indianapolis. Poured into a pint glass.

L: Clear dark mahogany brown pour. Nearly black with 2 fingers of foamy tannish head. Solid lacing.

S: Classic roasted malts and chicory. Dark sugars.

T/F: Toasted malts and sugars.... mild coffee and cocoa. Baked raisin and singed bread. Surprisingly light in body. Well carbonated. Finish is roast and mild hop bitterness.

O: A nice light porter. Complex flavor, tasty and enjoyable.

I tried this beer at BW3s in Fishers, IN. It poured an opaque dark with no head and no lace. The scent had hints of earth and chocolate. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. The mouthfeel medium in body with smooth carbonation. Overall is a decent beer.

Appearance: Nearly opaque black in glass. Very little lace at all.

Aroma: Chocolate, roasty coffee. Faithful to style, and appealing for sure.

Taste: Mostly cocoa here, with a trace of coffee around the edges. The body here is fairly light, and this one’s more than drinkable and a great gateway to heavier stouts. Tasty and easy to drink (despite the relatively high ABV).
