Bottle. What great beer. It's very dark brown with a light Tan, two finger head. Aroma is perfect roasted smell. Taste was just the perfect roasted flavour for a enter treat.

Hits all the right porter notes but with a distinct lack of complexity. Offers up chocolate, hints of coffee, and a nutty undercurrent, but fails to string these together into a satisfying porter finish. Back end grows dry and bland with a fizzy, nondescript fade. Chocolate and nuts in the aroma, and while the texture is appropriately thick, it’s got an unexpectedly cheap carbonated feel. Skippable.

Bottle from Trader Joe's. Pours a deep brown to black, with a small beige head that dissipates quickly. Dark coffee roast, faint cocoa powder aromas. Slightly creamy, cafe latte undertones, but a cola-like mouthfeel. More coffee and bakers chocolate on the palate. Semi dry finish. Definitely more like a schwartz with a bit more muscle, but abv hidden well. Solid beer.

A thick mocha head forms above this densely dark brown beer. Only a trace of garnet appears at the edges in strong light. Light aroma of coca powder and roast malts. The flavor is lightly sweet nutty chocolate.
