22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big buttered pecans, caramel, honey, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, toffee, vanilla, milk chocolate, light cocoa/coffee, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of pecans and dark/roast/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big buttered pecans, caramel, honey, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, toffee, vanilla, milk chocolate, light cocoa/coffee, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal hop and roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pecans, caramel, honey, brown sugar, toasted brown bread, toffee, vanilla, milk chocolate, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of pecans and dark/roast/bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter balance, and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy, lightly slick/silky, and slightly chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol. Overall this is an excellent dessert porter! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of pecans and dark/roast/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. Nice malty richness, but never overly sweet. A very enjoyable offering.

22 oz bottle from Table and Vine, plus on draft @ Sunset Grill and Tap, Allston, MA. Deep reddish-brown with a solid retention and lacing. The nose doesn’t remind of Pecans at all, more like a fruity aroma, plus some butter. Taste is super sweet. Syrupy. Butter comes out throughout the sip. The mouthfeel is more sticky when sampled on Draught. In the bottle, not so much. I had to try it more than once because I was undecided if I liked it or not. I’m still not sure what to make of this brew. It gets a few points on being different if nothing else.

22oz bottle pours a translucent, deep brown with a creamy off white head. Nose is very sweet, herbal, spices, feet. Flavor is gross, malty, sweet ’n low, canned peaches, burnt sugar. Finish is sticky. All in all, fairly gross.

Pours black into a Sam glass. Mocha head with good retention leaves spot lacing as it recedes to skim surface. Pecan and corn syrup aromas. Sweet full caramel and pecan upfront turning to chocolate in the lasting finish.
