Dark brown color. Big, beige head. Chocolate, roasted malt, and raisins in the aroma. Smooth, malty taste with moderate roasted bitterness. Well balanced.

Poured cola brown and looked black in the glass. It was crowned with a beige head that dissipated to a thin ring which left no lacing.
The taste was smooth roasted malts, a bit of coffee and dark, dark chocolate. Not sweet, but not bitter either. Excellent fullness of flavor.
The feel was medium I guess; not thin like a lager, or 'thick' like some BA stout, just right for the style.
Good porter, I will look for it again.

I got a can of this beer from my BRAH-in-law! It poured an opaque dark with thin ecru ring head that is not leaving much lace . The scent had roast notes with hints of chocolate and molasses. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with chocolate malt base with subtle roast highlights. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

16oz undated can poured into an imperial tulip pint glass at just above fridge temp 6.5% ABV 20 IBU per can. The beer pours medium brown in color with chestnut highlights and sticky light brown head. The head recedes to a fluffy, uneven ring and leaves behind some lacing. The aroma is mild with earthy, chocolate, malty notes. The taste is bittersweet roasted malt with an earthy theme and mild bitterness. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, good.

Canned 2/11/22; drank 3/9/22 @ the Yarchives.
Mostly opaque brown/orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a HUGE khaki head; thick, frothy lace.
Fresh soap, medium roast coffee bean, mild fresh earth & faint floral notes in the nose. Unique!
Medium mouthfeel.
Fresh flowers & medium roast coffee bean flavors up front; mild fresh earth & faint fresh earth notes on the finish.
This shouldn't work, but it does; a floral porter that still has some roasty ballast. I'd have another!

Dark roasted malt and chocolate and nutty. This is a quintessential porter, in may opinion. Smooth and creamy. Perfectly balanced and easy to drink.

Nice ruby highlights complement dark brown liquid. Head is fizzy and peters out rapidly :-/ smell is roasty and nutty. Flavor is rich, buttery, and nutty. Pretty darn crushable for a porter. Mouthfeel is nicely round. This one is not top 20, but it is very solid. Nice to have a style other than a hazy IPA from Old Nation, and nice to see it done pretty well.
