Crowler at DC early November beer tasting. Poured a dark cola color with a small off-white head. Chocolate, coffee. Creamy. Pleasant. Some greenness to it. Pleasant stuff.

From a crowler. Pours a clear cola with a tan head. Aromas of coffee. Flavors are moderately bitter roast coffee. Smooth and tasty.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, very fast-dying just barely tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, light caramelised sugars, some mellow oatmeal and grain and more of a dry maltiness with some earth and very little else. Medium-bodied; Relatively strong toasted malt and hazlenut flavours show through with some light spices, a bit of earthiness and very little else - perhaps some light grain and bready flavours. Aftertaste shows some more of the deeper robust caramelised sugar sweetness, along with some very mild nutty flavours and a dash of bread, but the alcohol does creep through, as does the slight thinness of the body, even light for being a porter. Overall, a decent enough porter, but shows almost more like a brown ale, as it's a bit thin on the edges, lacking in pungent malt complexities and showing a very simplistic finish, especially compared to the style. Somehow, still nice enoough to sample, as one of the last beers I sampled here on my first ever visit to South Dakota, sampled this pint on draught at Thirsty's in Rapid City, South Dakota on 01-July-2020 for US$5,00.
