Interesting name. I'm starting to think they just take two words from a captcha and name the beer after it. No can date
Pours a foamy airy frothy 1.5 finger tan to brownish head with good retention, a bit rocky looking, a bit of lacing, very dark brown color that barely lets any light through
Nose fresh coffee up front, a med roasted coffee, mild roasted malt character, some dark chocolate, a bit nutty and some fruity coffee notes, hint of like hazelnut, mild vanilla-coffee ice cream note, coffee dominates the nose
Taste brings more coffee up front but a bit more balanced with the beer, fresh med roasted coffee, cold extracted with some fresh coffee ground flavors, a touch of bitterness from roast, some roasted malt notes, a bit nutty but not much, some dark chocolate, hint of vanilla again, touch of a fruity note as well, finishes a bit drier with a bit more bitterness, hint of spicy hop note, more light roasted nutty coffee
Mouth is med to a bit fuller bod, med to lighter carb, a little creamy
Overall not bad, coffee does overpower the beer a bit so I would have liked to see more balance with the porter itself, but otherwise a nice beer
