On tap at Original Pattern, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is full of earthy coffee, tobacco, and soft dark cocoa. Flavour brings out a nice coffee character, with soft dark cocoa, tobacco, and a little caramel. Lightly sweet, with lots of cocoa and coffee on the finish. Very good.

From can to tulip glass. Pours a deep brown and clear with than head that fades to a solid collar of small bubbles and light covering. Coffee dominates the aroma, and the flavor is coffee with moderate smoke. Flavor lingers a long time with a bit of the caramel coming in late.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated August 23, 2019. Aroma is full of coffee, chocolate, roast and a light smoke note. Hints of tobacco, ash, caramel and toasted bread. Faint notes of some dark fruits. Pours dark brown to black with a large, thick, frothy, light mocha head that recedes slowly but steadily to a small film that lingers thicker on the edges. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with some upfront chocolate and caramel notes. Medium bitterness and a hint of alcohol spice. Lots of coffee notes with lighter roast and a bit of smokiness. Lingering coffee notes with hints of dark fruit, tobacco and smoke. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice porter with decent coffee notes. The malt profile works well with the coffee adding some nice chocolate and caramel notes. The smoke works because of how light it is.
