A little creamy, nice malted milkshake flavor. Medium carbonation and drinks easy.

Bottle, from Vintner 9th Ave, Manhattan. Pours clear dark brown with ruby-red highlights against the light, large spongy tan head, sweet roasted malt aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter mocha taste with berry-like flavor, thin body, long mocha finish. Smooth but thin.

Black with a medium sized foamy tan head. Mildly malty, a bit off and a bit of vanilla.

Can. A- Bland, roasty, cocoa. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, minimal fizzy head. T- Cola, char, roasty, cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, medium carbonation, roasty finish. O- Tasted more like a fizzy cola than beer. No resemblance to any sort of malt or milkshake.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Oak Creek, 11/29/18. Black, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of roast, coffee beans, cherries. Taste is roast, tobacco, cherries, chocolate. Thin, and nothing like milshake malt.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 2/14/2018. Pours slightly hazy dark brown color with a 1 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, toffee, brown sugar, fudge, nuttiness, and toasted brown bread; with light notes of coffee, molasses, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, toffee, brown sugar, fudge, nuttiness, and toasted brown bread; with light notes of coffee, molasses, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal, grassy, roasted bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, toffee, brown sugar, fudge, nuttiness, toasted brown bread, light coffee/molasses/dark fruit, herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a solid roast/hop bitter/sweet balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and lightly silky/sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is good. Pretty thin, but not watery on flavor. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is a good English porter. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Well rounded porter malt complexity with cocoa; mild fruity yeast and earthy hops against sweetness. A nicely enjoyable offering, and good style example.
