Can from Hawaii enjoyed at home.
Dark brown color with a touch of haze and a thin tan head that quickly dissipates. Earthy roasty chocolate with just a touch of vanilla and a hint of nuttiness. Pretty nice brew.

12th December 2022, 4oz sample on a flight at the Ola Brew place in Hilo. Dark brown body, beige head. Nice vanilla and chocolate aroma with a taste that also holds chocolate and vanilla flavors.

Can from Chris M: pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is actually pretty weak on vanilla and has way more cocoa type thing going on. Taste is sweet chocolate with hints of vanilla. This is a solid sweet porter.
