Brought back from Brazil by the in-laws
Pours an off-white fluffy foamy head with moderate retention and soapy lacing, very dark brown with a touch of light coming through

Nose is interesting, some dark toasted brown malts, biscuity, touch of caramel and toffee, some strawberry there but like frozen or canned strawberry, and it's light, with a strange earthy character coming in with the light cocoa

Taste starts with raw cocoa, plenty of raw cocoa, not even chocolate just raw cocoa nibs, a little fudgey, some dark malts but not roasty or coffee, very little bitterness, some from the malts and maybe a hint of hops, light strawberry again, and again it's more frozen or canned strawberry flavor, very light background, sticky mild sweet finish, more cocoa nibs coating the mouth with a touch of strawberry, and a bit more bitterness

Mouth is med to a bit fuller bod, a touch creamy, medium carb, no alcohol

Overall OK. Strawberry is very light but OK since it doesn't overpower or destroy the porter, but cocoa nibs kinda do, not a ton of base porter beer in there, but it's not bad overall
