12 oz. can. Pours black, with a big, foamy, brown head. The aroma is mild coffee, pine bark, light licorice, almonds, black pepper, and dates. Sweet, with a harsh, roasted bitterness. Medium to heavy body, with a syrupy, chalky, and sticky mouthfeel. This is a nice, aromatic porter, if a little harsh.

12oz can pours with a deep dark body that tall tan head of foam. The aroma offers up lots of dark roasted malts and coffee as well as some spicy maple and a vague sweetness blended with chocolate. The taste delivers dark roasted malts that have a coffee and burnt malt edge. It then gets into spicy maple and a bit of chocolate. Into the finish a nearly charred malt sensation takes over. Decent. I dig it.

Sample at Daily Growler Powell during the "Land-Grant Collab (The Corsica) Launch + Empanadas Food Truck" event on 01/19/2018. Opaque black color with a medium thick foamy beige head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing. Aroma of maple syrup, malt and coffee. Light to medium body with flavors of sweet maple, roast coffee and malt. The finish is sweet with a maple and malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours lightly hazy dark brown/light reddish/copper color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, toffee, vanilla, and toasted brown bread; with light notes of nuttiness, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, and herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, maple flavoring, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, toffee, vanilla, and toasted brown bread; with light notes of nuttiness, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, and herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal/spicy hop and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, toffee, vanilla, toasted brown bread, nuttiness, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, maple flavoring, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Slight dryness from hop/roast bitterness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is a delicious flavored American porter. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, maple flavoring, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Nicely rich and complex for the ABV; great maple flavor presence, without overwhelming the base beer. Just enough hops to balance the sweetness. A very enjoyable offering.
