A lightly smoked coffee porter made with a touch of German beechwood smoked malt as well as high quality English malts to create a chocolaty, roasty, base beer. Then, add two pounds of Sightglass Colombian Finca Madrigal coffee per barrel for an intense but refined coffee character.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Jet black pour. Frothy tan head. Aroma is dark malt, dark chocolate and dark coffee. A bit of smoke as well. Flavor is deceptively smooth. Layers of complexity start with sweet roasted malt, dark roasted coffee, bittersweet chocolate and mild smokiness. Some resiny pine hops on backend. Well made and extremely flavorful.

Pint can - labeled 7.7% - dark brown pour - moderate lace - heavy on the coffee, with some cream sweetness, chocolate - mild smoke, but deep, almost burnt roastiness - nose presents much more smoke than the flavor, leaving me a little disappointed - nicely creamy and soft texture - earthy maltiness throughout - a mixed bag, but ultimately enjoyable.

Dark brown, thin head. The smoke is light and malts on the burnt side. Medium body, has some dryness. Touch of malt sweetness. It’s not bad - the sort of beer I would have absolutely loved in the late 90s but it’s mostly just ok now.

Freezing Midtown bottle share. Dark brown pour, bit of foam. Coffee, tobacco and some bacon. Quite nice thick and dry feel. Tastes spicy, tobacco and medium body. Dry roast. Pleasant tobacco linger. Quite nice one, liking this leathery roast quite a lot.
