A light bodied, crisp and flavorful dark ale with hints of semi-sweet chocolate and soft nuances of fresh coffee. This beer is counter intuitive in the way that it pours dark as night but tastes like a lighter beer encompassing a range of full flavor.

Very dark with an off-white head. Lightly roasted malts with plenty of sweet chocolate to round that out. A hint of dry coffee grounds, too. Finish has plenty of sweetness and a little bitterness from the coffee notes. Thin bodied. An enjoyable and very accessible porter.

can - Pours dark brown with a tan head. It smells of roast malt and coffee. The flavor is similar. I found it on the light side for a porter. What's there is decent but I'd like it to pack a little more oomph flavor-wise.

Can. Pours dark brown with reddish tint, large spongy beige head, caramel/toffee aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter coffee taste, thin body, longish medium bitter finish. Quite smooth and enjoyable, but a bit thin.

Can: Black, with a small tan head. Light cocoa, vanilla, coffee scent. Taste is mild....but solid coffee/chocolate malts...roast, sweet milk. Quite tasty. Though it feels light, it drinks with a lot of flavour and richness.

Can sampled @ Hopishop #3. Black, little mocha head. Nose is sweetish bland low roasted malts & some mocha, low umami, overall quite boring & neutral. Taste is rather bland & boring, low herbal, touch plastic, sugar, roasted malts. Boring herbal body. Very bland, nondeScript, boring & tad flavorless. Meh. DeScription says not a lager, okay but it isn’t interesting either. Nothing wrong with it but it is just barely there.
