Can from the supermarket enjoyed at the airbnb on Waikiki.
Dark brown bordering on black with a decent sized frothy tan head. Earthy chocolate with hints of earth and vanilla. A bit hoppy for the style but pretty nice porter.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall tan and light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, earth, caramel and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Candy sweet chocolate and caramel hit first with a good deal of grain, roasted malt, oatmeal and vanilla right behind. Aftertaste shows a lot of roasted malt bitterness with some subdued grain and alcohol along with a bit of chocolate and coffee and a touch of alcohol as well. Overall, a nice porter with some rich flavours and a deep bitterness that you don’t find in most local beers. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from KTA Super Store in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Island, Hawaii on 09-August-2016 for US$7,99 sampled in my hotel/condo on 12-August-2016.

Black pour. Vanilla, roasted Malta, slight burnt coffee, some chocolate. The vanilla really comes on as it warms. Medium to full body. Rather smooth. If you like vanilla this is right up your alley.
