Canned 10/3/22
Pours a deep, deep brown with a medium amount of relatively short-lived light khaki colored head. Aroma is light roasted malts with cocoa and very faint sweetness.
Taste is heavy on the roast. I'm not a coffee drinker, but this has some coffee vibes. Light bodied and easy drinking.
Solid beer.

Straight from the can.
Roasted malt aroma.
Flavor is somewhat nutty. Lots of roasted malts in here. Notes of chocolate in the flavor.
Lighter bodied, but not watery.
Delicious for the style.

Pours a tan frothy thick 1 finger head with moderate retention, sticky lacing, very dark basically black color
Nose brings nice roast, not heavy roast or acrid but a touch smokey, dark chocolate, touch of baking spice into mild cocoa wafer cookie, light spicy hops, a little doughy cookie malt, touch nutty
Taste starts again with the roast, nice roast without acrid or burnt but again a touch of smokey note, some roasted coffee, a little nutty coffee, into cookie dough wafer notes, fair spicy earthy hop notes, with med bitterness from the hops and roasted malts, some dark chocolate in the background but less than I expected, although it does bring cocoa on the finish, plenty of baking spices late, and even a hint of anise
Mouth is fuller bod, med frothy carb, a bit creamy as well
Overall very nice easy drinking porter

Poured from a can, stamped "Canned on 11/23/202 ... Peaks by 5/23/2021" so I'm still in that good peak date range.
Label says: Porter brewed with triticale and emmer.
Looks a deep dark brown, with a fluffy tan head.
Smells of dark roasted grains, dark bread and toasted caramel.
Tastes of similar layers of dark roasted grains and coffee beans, with a bit of herbal-spicy hops. Strong char-roast component, almost lending some astringent bite.
Feel has a light body but robust flavor. Sharp carbonation and bitterness with a dry finish.
Overall a good solid porter. I think the blend of specialty grains contributed nicely, though they may have been over-powered by the roast character.

Poured from a pint can into a chalice. Nice full caramel colored head, 2 fingers deep. Body of the beer is coal black. Plenty of carbonation. The first sip is mildly sweet at first, with a hoppy bitterness taking hold. A decent representation of the style.
