A - |Porter Fandango pours into the glass appropriately dark with two fingers of dense, coffee and cream colored ehad.
S - Up front, I'm definitely getting those aromas from the horchata. I get aromas of vanilla and something like a combination of chocolate milk and rice pudding. This rises into a gentle malt center before fading into a sweet, subdued, finish reminding me somewhat of cola.
T - On the tongue, Porter Fandango is full bodied, but lacking the lushness that I look for in a porter. Flavor starts out more malty with a quick fading roasted nature. Roasted grain fades quickly into flavors of cola with only hints of the horchata qualities I found in the nose. From there everything fades into a gentle. not over-lasting dryness.
Overall, this is a very passable porter. It's simple and straightforward in nature. I just wish it had more chocolate and roasted grain in its flavor and a little more lushness in its mouthfeel.

473ml can - a 'Mexican interpretation' of their vanilla Porter, in honour of Mexican Independence Day, which occurred last month.
This beer pours a murky, orange-highlighted, and very dark brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of scattered soap scum pattern lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, cinnamon toast, those vanilla cookies that I had when I was a kid, and some faint earthy, musty, and floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, medium cocoa powder, vanilla pods, sort of metallic cinnamon spice, and more well-understated leafy, floral, and herbal green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with a hint of spice intransigence maybe taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes trending dry, the malt wavering in the face of some lingering cinnamon heat.
Overall - well, if they were going for the Mexican chocolate sort of effect, they've certainly succeeded. Full of flavour, and rather spicy, as already noted, this is an adequate foil to the early Autumn snowfall that we've had to deal with in my neck of the woods.
