Not sure how often this one is released, but it's the first time I've seen it available. Described by the waiter as "a light American porter with a heavy coffee veneer." I guess he's not too far off.
Pours a deep reddish/light brownish color topped by a fairly small, tan head. Appearance is really more that of an American red ale than a porter. Nose is tangy caramel malt with a hint of coffee. Palate is caramel and dark malts with a light roasty character up front, followed by a strong mocha character on the finish that lasts for a good long while. It's a little disconcerting on the first couple of sips, but I came around to this beer after I had a bit more. Body is a bit thin for a porter, but appropriate for this particular beer. Can't say I'm a huge fan, but then again, I don't drink coffee. An interesting offering.
