On tap at the brewery September of 2018. Marketed as having coffee and lactose sugar, 3.8% ABV and on nitro. Pours a muddy brown, plenty of creamy, mocha head. Nose has malt, bread, coffee, caramel, malt balls. Flavor has coffee and brown sugar and malt, chewy grains, a little cola, earthy here. A tremendous amount of flavor for 3.8% ABV. Creamy finish.

On tap at Hill Farmstead, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out light toasted malt and cocoa powder. Flavour is soft and chocolatey, with toasted malt and dry cocoa powder. Lots of depth for such a session beer. Solid stuff.

Enjoyed at the brewery, on nitro, on my first visit there for Easter weekend 2018. Pours a dark brown colour, cola-looking, with a super creamy head, very long lasting and nice lacing. Chocolate malt aromas with coffee notes and lactose. Creamy mouthfeel and smooth. Taste of roasted malts with some light dark fruits coffee hints lingering. A nice creamy light porter.
