Released for CBW's 1 year anniversary, on tap at Cole's 4/20/12...got the last pint

The beer pours a deep dark brown with literally no head. The nose is a potent coffee followed by a faint sweetness. It provides great roast in the taste followed by a bready bitterness. It's a light-medium bodied porter, semi-dry, with a huge, lingering roastiness and slightly floral bitterness. This is a good brew, similar to the whale, but a lot more coffee forward and definitely runs out of carbonation too quick (completely flat with a 1/4 unfinished).
