When the turbo kicks in so does the flavor! This coffee porter has all the rich and chocolatey characteristics of a traditional porter but with an extra boost of craft brewed coffee. Coming in at 7%; TURBO is a perfect way to either start or end your day

Taste: Roasted coffee, dark chocolate malts, hint of sweet, rich and a clean finish. Coffee bean malty nose. Black/Brown hue, semi clear, refined head of foam and nice ringed lattice. Medium body. Tasty with just the right amount of coffee flavors.

A pretty good Porter for an 18 month old !
Looks full and invitingly foamy. Smells are mostly a melange of darker malts and dried fruits. Tastes let the chocolate and coffee kick in; both slightly bitter, but my vote goes to the bittersweet chocolate. Sits soothingly and, still, refreshingly in the mouth. A great pairing with a cool spring day in which it was summer only two days earlier.
My first from 93 Octane and you have to like the story. A cicerone before he is legal to drink in some states; then continues on as a home brewer; then has to get a job and learns brewing from a string of micros and regionals. Then the plunge: models his own taproom-brewery 18 months ago and -- only two months after starting his shop -- the worst pandemic in history breaks out and closes down that model. It is a plunge into the Arctic. But based on the quality of Turbo, he knows well what he is doing. Good luck. Survive through 2021 and you will succeed.

16oz undated can poured into a pint glass shows an opaque, dark maple-brown body, with cola colored highlights at the very edge. A slight 1/8in cap of cream colored mixed bubbles briefly forms before receding to an edge-hugging ring and leaving random spotted, leopard, and stepped lacing.
Coffee hits all right notes with no off aroma or flavor. Chocolate joins the dark roast coffee flavor in a smooth, full body.
The feel dissolves to a clean finish just after a sweet, slightly-better-than-metallic flavor balances out the bitter coffee bean.
Overall a nice example.
