From the Advent calendar.

It pours a very dark brown with a good head of tannish foam, good lacing.

I get notes of lactose and big chocolate,
vanilla, some roasted malt.

Big milk chocolate flavour, vanilla follows, roasted malt is almost like it is burnt. Very little bitterness and the sweet isn't over the top. Nice chocolate malty finish and aftertaste.

Maybe not quite medium body with light carbonation.

So drinkable and tasty.

Can from total wine clearwater. Big and black presentation with a tan head that fades rapidly. Nose is certainly milk chocolate, smells very yummy. Taste starts off with easy milk chocolate as well. Yes, you can tell there is some alky in there but fer sher it is milk chocolate, no bitter dark chocolate here. I'm surprised that it lacks the cloying character of many milk chocolate beers. It also retains its porter heritage. No sign of baltic porter here, straight up well behaved american style porter. Quite good, and its pretty much as advertised on the label; something you don't see too much of when you experience many domestic brews. Good job JB.

Can at home a surprise I haven’t tried prior. Nice dark pour with a two finger head. Nose is chocolate and cola. Tastes of cola, milky lactose, chocolate, light earth, some chalk. Not overly sweet. Light bodied.

Drunk in the dark down at the dock on Lake Martin. It looked black then. Delicious milk chocolate aroma with just a hint of toast. Taste is sweet, full of fudge and chocolate shake with a light, roasted bitterness underneath. Not a heavy beer though—medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Delicious! After a long couple days full of IPAs though, I may just be happy to be drinking anything different.

12oz can pours a muddy brown with a ring of white head. Nose is Yoohoo, chocolate syrup, malt, caramel. Flavor is weaker, chocolate, malt. Finishes watery.

Can at the July DC RB mini-tasting. Poured a dark brown color with a small, slightly tan head. Aroma was milk chocolate, light roasted malt notes. Sweet chocolate. Someone at the tasting compared it to Yoo-Hoo. That's a pretty apt description. Pretty tasty actually.

12oz can at tasting. It's a sweet bit not sugary gimmick beer. Though a little seltzer on the flavor with tartness. So smells like the gimmick but weird in flavor.
