Poured from an undated 32oz howler style bottle which is apparently the only way to get this beer.

On the pour a one finger head forms then quickly gets fizzy and fades to a ring around the glass. Carbonation is very fine but pretty active. body is a dark reddish brown, light gets through pretty well.

Aroma is relatively light for what it is, but what is there is pretty nice. A solid cross between a porter and a pilsner with some light noble-esque hops balanced by a chocolatey malty alighted ale like notes. Dark malty notes, but it's difficult to pick up on much woth how light the aroma is. Nothing off.

Flavor is predictable after the aroma. Relatively light in flavor, but that's there is clean and a good cross of pils and porter. Sort of like something vaguely close to an English bitter but more germanized I suppose. Relatively light and feels like something g that would've been created before the Craft beer boom, but it's very difficult to get any sort of information about the brewery or this beet in general. Onto my second glass, the roasted barley notes bring a more and more obvious coffee note as you drink more quite nice.

Feel is very drinkable and once again a cross of pils and porter. Refreshing and light while carrying some nice roasty notes. A bit watery for the style, so leaning toward the pils feel wise. The porter brings in a bit of mouth coating maltiness, but the feel is mostly light.

Overall this is a good beer, but it could be a bit happier to bring home the pils, but it just is a bit light for being a pilsner AND porter. It could be a bit old seeing as it's a single in a weird format, but If it interests you I'd say try it. It's good but light.

Nice clear amber color. It smells like malt with hints of chocolate and toffee like a Heath candy bar. Surprisingly smooth and well balance taste. Robust and filling, the chocolate is in the taste as well as coffee, but not bitter. This is a nice beer for its price point. If you like darks and reds, give this a try.

32oz jug from Winco. Cola colored pour, fizzy head, then flat. Aroma is light roast and caramel. Taste is sweet, root beer, roast malts. Super fast finish leaves a full feeling on the palate.

The pour was nice and smooth, not to much foam rising to the surface. The smell reminds me of something close to a Modelo kind of smell mixed with Guiness. The initial taste was very refreshing actually, kind of took me by surprise. I was expecting more of a bitter taste but it tasted sweet like a Pilsner with a kind of bitter ending at the end. Overall not bad! this was actually pretty refreshing coming straight out of the gym trying this.

It's not bad for the price. but you are better off with a 6 pack of yuingling black and tan for this price range if its available.
