Can from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brown with a foamy tan head. Aroma of roasty malt. Dryish and bitter. Darkly roasty malt with notes of coffee and/or chocolate. Good flavor.

4 oz draft at the brewery. Flavor of chocolate, strong roast, some coffee like bitterness. Again, solid representation.

Deep and dark brown coloured body with a mostly opaque brown glow that shows at about 70 per cent opaque with some nice ruby tints towards the bottom, all underneath a single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, light cream, a dash of molasses and even some smoked oak and wood notes - very strong with the bitter scents. Medium-bodied; Strong rich roasted malts dominate at first with a lot of bitterness picked up, mainly from the grain and the lightly smoked flavours with a lot of rich qualities and a dry finish that shows more molasses and caramelised sugars than anything else. Aftertaste brings out some specialty grains, especially some rye or deeper malt notes, but the wood and light smoke notes dominate here in a good way. Overall, a very nice, super dry and almost Belgian-like Porter/Stout with a good blend between low-ish alcohol and dry Stout with more of a creamy and rich finish. Great to sample locally here on tap, and of course super fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at the brewery here in Anchorage, Alaska on 05-October-2021 for US$6,00 sampled while here in Alaska for the day after being here with my family on vacation a few months ago.
