Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a small foamy tan head that left no lacing. The aroma was cola, wood, anise and cherry. The flavor was toasty malts, dryish, woody and had hints of anise and cherry. Long finish. Medium body. Meh.

12 oz. bottle, Julio’s Liquor’s, $2.19 with a 15% off Wild Six Discount. Fresh bottle, best before March. Deep brown color with tiny ring of white head into an English pint glass. Soft carbonation. Nose is a pleasing roasted and chocolate malt. Taste is much the same with an odd sourness toward the finish. The sourness is a bit off putting. Not terrible, still drinkable… but not what I’m looking for in a porter.
