Looks like this one showed up at Strange Brew and Backwash 2017. "Native" coffee porter, cayenne pepper, marshmallow.

Pours black/darkest brown like an ordinary porter would. 1/3" beige head. The aroma was all roasted malt and significantly less coffee. Didn't get any pepper or marshmallow going on in the nose.

Taste is decent, they didn't go heavy on the marshmallow or cayenne pepper. The marshmallow I think gives the beer a nice vanilla like smoothness, which only furthers its smoothness effort, as I believe the base beer for this is their "Haulin' Oats" which is not only one of their (if not theeeee) best but also has oats for a smoother mouth feel. I also didn't think the coffee was too heavily done, it isn't that big here either. No idea what 'native' coffee is, maybe it immigrated here a little sooner than most. Just a smidge of heat on the back end moreso, I think that is how you wanna do it here. Once again, it falls into being one of the more likeable things they make.
