Dark brown coloured body with a relatively fast-dying tan head, about two centimetres tall. Aroma of toasted malt, hazlenuts, earth, grain, a light bit of coffee and a dose of caramelised sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Noticeable malty and caramel flavours with some hazlenuts and grain around as well as some very light brewed coffee, but not too much, especially in terms of a porter. Aftertaste is on the malty side with earth and grain and very little else, aside from sugars and a faint hit of coffee. Overall, a decent beer at best that shows more of a Brown Ale than a porter, and the coffee taste is definitely muted, but this at least shows some complexities, but definitely not on par with some of the better coffee-based beers. Still, sad to say that this is decent to try, given that I'm not in South Carolina often. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Grapevine in Fort Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 for US$1,70 after watching the Eclipse, sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in Pungoteague, Virginia on 02-September-2017.
