On tap atvthe brewery. Has a cinnamon coffee aroma, though not too sweet. Okay dark brown body and minimal head. Flavour is an okay coffe and barley bit with cinnamon and coriander, Christmas spice anyways. Sort of weak mouthfeel and despite a few flavours identified really lacking in complexity. Kind of a mediocre seasonal porter, not for the discerning though serviceable.

Dark brown. Has a mellow chocolatey nose, maybe a touch toasty. Thin, extracty, has a bit of toffee but just a bit.

On tap at 3 Dogs, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals lots of cinnamon and burnt brown sugar. Flavour is heavy on the spices, bringing out lots of spicy dry cinnamon, some light burnt sugar, and what tastes like nutmeg. Spicy but laid back. Okay.
