Stopped over to this place after I saw it as a verified location on Untappd from my hotel. Looked like the tap list was pretty solid, albeit small. There was some kind of country music shindig going on when I got there. Somewhere I read that it was a porter with a local coffee and coconut.

Poured a dark brown, not quite black, color with two fingers of khaki-tan frothy head when I got it. Lots of bubbles coming up from the bottom of the cup. Excellent foamy spiderweb lacing. World-class retention. (Sight - 4.25)

Smelled roasted coffee, dark cocoa, dark chocolate milk, coconut flakes, vanilla, chocolate syrup and semi-char wood. (Smell - 4.00)

Wow on the taste. Pleasantly surprised with this one. Coffee, dark cocoa, coconut flakes, vanilla, chocolate milk, semi-char wood and wood. (Taste - 4.25)

Full body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Roasty finish. (Feel - 4.25)

Really liked this one. Just a great porter. (Overall - 4.00)
