Canned 9/27/19...fuck

Back to the discount rack. $2 for a single of this one, I had never heard of this one before, and the single review already here scares me a bit, let's see what this is about

Pours a dark fudgy brown with 2 fingers of light brown head that quickly fades to a cap and leaves minimal lacing

The nose is pretty standard porter fare, notes of light roast, coffee, a touch of smoke, but with just a dash of jammy blackberry

Up front is where the berries shine here, adding a nice subtle tartness to match the roasty coffee, but on the swallow they become overpowering and combine with the roast in a rather unpleasant way, feeling astringent. There's some chalky dark chocolate that pulls it back a bit but this is pretty out there. The aftertaste actually brings a nice, full raspberry note

Medium bodied with gentle carbonation, this actually drinks pretty smooth despite the less than stellar taste. Still, it finishes a little too sticky

Yeah, this one was kinda whack. Not objectionable or offensive, but I can seem why some may find it to be like that.The idea is out there, but it was worth a shot
