Can (8/16/25) from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Opaque dark brown with nice sparkle and viscosity, thin fizzy head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong bittersweet coffee/chocolate espresso bean, hazelnut. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, thick, velvety texture, full bodied, soft carbonation, alcohol warmth, bitter coffee finish. Strong aroma and flavor with chocolate offsetting the bitterness of the coffee. The alcohol presence doesn't detract--seems to suit the mood.

Brewers Tap draught, 10/18/25.
As pictured.
Strong espresso, crunchy, beany, fairly dark, though a bit of vanilla and fruitiness in there. Light milk chocolate from the malt. Not acrid or acidic.
Soft, silky, chewy, though a bit slicker and looser than I recall from past versions. On the sweeter side, though not problematically so. My main issue is that the roast is rather dark. Just typical, boring, heavily roasted coffee notes.
gave a cheers!

Big coffee on the initial smell, makes me remember the other Pot and Kettle variants I've had. Comes on pretty strong on the coffee--so much that some of the other porter elements are hidden. Despite this, the beer still has some roast, once it's in the mouth, and maybe a touch of cream. Pours black with good mocha head. Light caramel. Bitter finish. Tap at Churchkey's Trilliium tap takeover event.

The # 37 best Porter - Pastry / Flavoured on Brewver. 16 ounce can from Libby’s Liquors in Lawrenceville. Dark brown pour. Large, dense tan head is long-lasting. Aroma of roasted malt and fresh ground coffee. Flavor is sweet roasted malt, dark coffee, vanilla bean and toasted nuts. Wonderful smooth, creamy mouthfeel from the oatmeal. An incredibly delicious brew.

Can shared at Craft Beer Junction - picked up in the US. Pours clear cola brown with a small, creamy tan head. Medium sweet flavour with notes of bitter black coffee, earth, a little ash, raisin. Medium bodied with average, somewhat spritzy carbonation. Finishes with notes of ashy roast, dried berries, earth. Nice overall.

Pours deep black into a tulip. Tan head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Chocolate and espresso aromas. Sweet chocolate and caramel upfront turning to mild espresso and marshmallow in the dry, medium length finish.

18/II/19 - 1Pt. can @ home, BB: n/a, canned: n/a - (2019-247) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing the can!
Not entirely sure about which edition. Like WTF, now ratebeer has more versions going on than Untappd? What's up with that? Anyway, putting my bets on the most recent one, being from 2019, since there hasn't been a new version in 2018.
Clear dark brown beer, creamy dense beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of coffee, nice coffee for that matter, caramel and dark chocolate notes. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sourish up front, lots of coffee, nice bitterness, roasted, sweet, banana, bitter. Aftertaste: sweet, bit sourish, alcohol, hoppy touch, chocolate, caramel, more coffee still, bitter finish, malty.
Chris DeMont shoveling sucks.
