Can (2/28/22) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's a very, very dark brown--almost-opaque--with light sparkle, thin cap of beige head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong sweet and roasted earthy malts, dark chocolate. Taste mirrors aroma. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, fairly standard but a little bit of nuance.

Can pour, enjoyed at Marlow's Pub, Orlando. Dense jet black pour, dark espresso brown foam head. Lots of milk chocolate constant here. Toasty, flavorful finish. Really easy drinking porter full of silly smooth cocoa. Lots.of chocolate, but less than the amount it takes to become a dessert beer. Bold over rich. Really nice, unique porter here.

Can. Pours a dark brown with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of bread and light chocolate with a roasted malt backbone. Flavor combines bread and chocolate notes with some roasted malts coming through in the finish.

From a can this pour is big and black. Has a very friendly gentle burnt wood nose. Easy going non-offensive taste. Quite enjoyable. Actually fun. I'm liking this. It's actually quite tasty for a porter. Has none of those typical baltic style porter attributes. Easy going and you'd never know this was 7%! Nah nah nah! Yes, very good porter, I really enjoyed this. Not bad! Good stuff coppertail. Nothing like a copper head, heheheh. Yes, I would say that skinny dipping would be perfect with your sexy mate with this beer.
