Bought one 650ML to try. Smell is definitely citrus hops and malt. Taste has the hops more subdued by the dark flavors of a Porter beer like chocolate and coffee. Taste is consistent thru the mouthful, not too carbonated and well blended. Finish is clean with little aftertaste.

Bottom line, if you enjoy the citrus hops that 3 Floyds uses in their beers, you should also enjoy this one too. Personally i was looking for a more traditional Porter taste, but then again this is 3 Floyds, and even the bottle has the message 'Is Not Normal'. Overall beer had a well blended feel and good taste too-- an interesting take on a Porter for sure.
