A very solid porter with a great aroma, flavor, and feel. Does just about everything correctly but might be too heavy even for a porter.

A bottle from 2016.
Pours out dark brown with some highlights and forms three fingers worth of light caramel colored crown that stick around well. Looks like the carbonation held up well.
The nose is brown oats, some chocolate and coffee. There is a nice, balanced roastiness that mixes well with that chocolate.
Nice chocolate in the taste. An all around balanced porter. Nothing is too overpowering and everything is working well together.
It still has carbonation holding on, which is nice. Not too thin, not too thick.
Overall, an enjoyable drink.

Lucky enough to have it straight from the tap at Tyrannena at the Beer Run post race party.
Tasty, potent and tremendously robust! Do you like coffee? Do you like beer? Look no further.

Bottled 11/18/15; drank 2/28/16 @ the Yarchives.
Black/brown appearance.
A rough pour yielded a small tan head; decent lace.
Dark chocolate, black coffee, mild smoke & faint cream notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Cream & chocolate syrup flavors up front; faint raspberry notes on the finish.
The nose promised a lot, but the flavor was muted. Disappointing but not bad.

Tastes like cloying sweet old soggy coffee grounds steeped in a porter.

Aroma is chocolate, dark malts and slightly grainy/earthy. The flavor is dark malts, mild citrus/fruit, chocolate, slight sugar sweetness and a smooth/acidic finish.

If you like Coffee Porters this is excellent. It pours a dark rich brown, almost black, with a dense head. It smells great, and it drinks like silk! They nailed the right amount of coffee. You can definitely smell and taste the coffee, but it does not overwhelm the great porter taste either. Definitely a repeat buy.

Tasted in a Rastal Teku from a 12 oz bottle on January 27, 2017. If you like coffee porter, this one is nicely balanced. The coffee is there, but it doesn't overwhelm the hop or malt aromas/flavors. Highly recommended.
