Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and earthy coffee notes up front with a keen dark chocoaltey tone underneath then some light milk chocolatey notes with a light sweet wafery malt backbone
Flavor: intertwines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to roasty and slightly bitter quality; finishes very cold brew coffee-like and smooth
Texture: light to medium bodied - closer to medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth all along the tongue with nothing bothersome to the flow; good carb level
Overall: if you like cold brew coffee porters, I recommend this one.
