Reviewed from notes.
Growler to becher glass.
Appearance: pours jet black and is jet black in the glass with a one and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, lots of roasty tones, caramel and earthy vibes
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a roasty sweet sort of way with a roasty and sweet earthy finish
Texture: medium bodied, great sessionability, pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: a very nicely done porter very worthy to return to.

Canned 11/25/22, drunk 5/7/23. Clear dark brown-to-ebony. Large tan head with moderate retention. Roasty, chocolatey, moderate base malt adding white bread and honey with milk chocolate as it mixes with the roasted barley. Good acidity, dark fruits, cleanliness and no alcohol. Roast, chocolate, good malt depth and attenuation with not overdone roast, no scratchy notes or too much dark malt. Maybe a hint of beans. But otherwise a well-constructed, by-the-books porter.

Ooo nice flavorful but easy drinking porter, not thin so bonus porter points here, and nice chocolate caramel vibes.

Roast and caramel with some coffee. A little tang. Black pour with decent head. Good balance and well rounded like Minaj. Bittersweet finish. Tap at Churchkey.
