12oz can. Opaque brown black body. Respectable enough beige head. Chocolate and caramel flavors. Not really nailing the style, has a sort of doughy chocolate feel, a little clumsy. Some oily harshness in the aroma. The alcohol is awkwardly present too. Drinkable, standard brewpub stuff in most ways, but doesn't do it for me at all....and I like Porters a lot.

This beer is not quite what I expected. In aRoma, I do pick up some Cocoa, no raisins and oddly a hint of creosote in the background. Appearance’s an opaque brown black, short-lived head and a little lace. Flavor’s also mild, smooth, balanced, some cocoa, a bit of roast, slightly on the sweet side. Nice finish.

Can. Pours opaque black with a medium tan head that lasts a while and laces well. Aroma is spice-forward, too spiced. Underlying notes of chocolate, toffee, and dark fruits. Flavor is pretty sweet, heavy malty, lots of dark sugars and fruitcake fruits, along with vanilla and a touch of maraschino cherry. Cinnamon and other spices; thankfully no clove. Medium body. A bit overboard, IMO.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with a creamy dark brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has a combination of dark grains, dark fruits vanilla and marshmallow. Flavor starts with dark grains and a hint of toffee with growing notes of marshmallow and vanilla as well as a hint of dark fruit.

Can: Poured a dark deep brown color ale with a medium size off-white head with limited retention and not much lacing. Aroma of dry raisin and brown sugar with a healthy dose of caramelized sugar is very interesting. Taste is also dominated by a healthy dose of caramelized malt with some dry raisins notes and some light residual brown sugar notes. Body is bit light to sustain all the spices and dry fruits notes with medium carbonation. Interesting beer but seems to be lacking a little bit malt profile.

Can @ home, courtesy of my great friend Charlie. Pours a deep brown appearance with a lasting tan head. Aroma is full of cocoa powder, a bit of caramel, chalk, and some dark fruits. Fairly soft on the tongue. Well balanced that’s just slightly sweet with just a hint of alcohol on the back end. Definitely some raisin/plum notes in there. Really smooth and easy to drink.

Can, courtesy of TheHoff43: Pecan nose, with a hint of raisins and dark chocolate. Mahogany, thick tan head, fair retention. Pecan and raisin flavor, dark chocolate overtones, but indistinct, muddled. Vanilla finish. Soft carbonation, light body. More nutty than anything, but nice.
