Two Row, crystal and Munich malts create the base for the big flavors of chocolate and black malt to build upon. The chocolate and coffee flavor and aroma of the malts are highlighted nicely by the addition of black strap molasses in the boil. Goldings and Fuggle hops provide refined earthy bitterness that compliments the roasty flavors of the malt nicely.

Tastes of bitter chocolate, burnt molasses
Overall not for me. I like smoother porters and this isn't it. Wouldn't buy again.

On draft at the Waikiki location. part of a flight of four. Enjoyable brew. Roasty malty flavor, thin body, nice scent and easy to drink, like all Waikiki Brews.

September 15th, 2015 - I've never seen a beer so explicitly advertise the black strap molasses content in their brew but I think it conjures a neat effect. There's a good malty base in the aroma, and that depth makes this smell more like a stout than a porter. The body is thinner like a traditional porter though, and gives a long lingering cocoa aftertaste. Otherwise the taste is somewhat standard with a bit of chalkiness. But an enjoyable brew after a long and sandy day.
