Calling all malt fans! Our version of a classic worker’s beer is a robust porter brewed with caramel, chocolate, and black malts, along with dark molasses for good measure. Also present is a healthy amount of flaked barley to yield a full and pleasant mouthfeel. As for hops, we used Golding and Cascade to compliment the sweetness and lend a slight fruity herbal quality to the beer.
The end result is a delicious ale that pours deep ruby black with a full creamy tan head, best enjoyed after a long satisfying work day. Pleasant notes of light malt sweetness in the aroma play nicely with roasty coffee and chocolate and a hint of toffee. After a first sip, you are greeted with more complex roasted malt flavors, reminiscent of cocoa. Malty caramel sweetness is present throughout and in harmony with the sharp bitterness of black malt.
At Peticolas, it really is just as much about the people as it is the beer. We have come a long way together, and this is our thank you and Standing Ovation to all those friends and family who have supported us through the years. Well done!

16oz can with no date per usual from Peticolas. Purchased in late January soon after release and opened 2-7-26.
2+ finger chocolate milk colored frothy head with very good retention and early lacing. Rides the beer down as a solid 1/8" cap.
Dark brown body with ruby highlights at the edge and no light coming thru the core. Full rings of lace.
Roasted aroma and mild coffee with cream.
Licorice, woodsy, charred malt bitterness, milk chocolate sweetness in the flavor.
Medium body and low-plus carbonation. Roasty and just semi-sweet finish with good length.
Drinkability is high, abv is a little too high to be a sessionable brew.
Very Good.

Not the best beer from this brewery by a long shot. Had it on tap at the brewery. The beer is thin and not much taste. Smell of wood and not much else. Taste of some toasted malt. Doesn’t look bad, but not one I would get again.
