Draft at the Houston airport. Dark brown with a creamy, beige head. Coffee aroma. Toffee. Something like toasted sourdough bread. Mildly sweet with a toasted bitterness at the end. Fairly simple in the end. Body stays light, texture is watery. Could use more heft.

Draft pour pint at BamBam, Houston IAH. A near black cola pour with an active white fizz head. Tons of coffee on this, and an extremely interesting flavor for sure. Creamy body, milk chocolate, light roast and very low bitterness, despite the coffee flavor being so present. A little on the sweet side, but it's not bothering me. Slight vanilla note. Somewhere between typical chocolate note in a porter, and a dessert beer. Overall, an enjoyable brew here.
