Dark brown pour from can. Pretty cinnamon forward here, with roasted malts and such.

Pours a medium brown, a very light color for a porter. It has a small light tan head. It has a mild, chocolate malt aroma. The sweet flavor is of chocolate malt with some vanilla. I didn’t notice any cinnamon. Eh. It’s okay though very mild for a porter.

Quarantine Beer #023 sampled at home on 03/19/2020. Dark brown pour with a medium beige head that dissipates steadily to a film. Small patches of lace. Aroma of malt, chocolate and coffee. Light to medium body with flavors of roast malt, chocolate and earthy coffee. The finish is roasty with a short chocolate malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Very subtle in its S'mores notes, with hints of cinnamon and vanilla accenting a fairly run-of-the-mill porter. Bakers chocolate and dark roast coffee are backed up by a smidgen of sweetness, but nothing really tracks as S'mores-like, except for maybe a slight cola-graham flourish in the fade. Pretty light for a porter, but the medium body feels right. Eh.

Amber brown? Not much aroma, almost like a mix of a red ale with a porter. Oily finish with unsweetened cocoa, lots of barley and toasty notes.
