16 oz. can from Whippoorwhill Beer House & Package Store, Orlando, FL. Pours a really dark brown color with mahogany highlights and a thick light tan head and great retention. Fair lacing. Smokey / burnt malt aroma. The flavor is similar to the aroma, featuring dark roasted malts with less smoke. Some dark chocolate bitterness and faint coffee notes in the finish. Tastes more like a stout than a porter. Smooth and clean with a creamy mouthfeel. Medium-heavy body. Below average carbonation. The 7.5% ABV is very well hidden. Really good.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark, dark brown with a huge dark tan head. Pretty much a Guinness pour for the first while. Aroma of moderate smoke, dark malt and chocolate notes. Med body or better. Flavor is smoke, dark chocolate and dark malt. The smoke is more wood than smoked meat. It's fairly dry, and definitely earthy in the finish. Good stuff.

Lots of smoke on the nose, but it doesn't carry over into the taste. Instead we get lots of dark chocolate and caramel, hints of dark fruit, and a vague smokiness on the finish. Sugary back end adds a little saccharine tint when mixed with the bitter fade. Not terrible, but the heavy sweetness makes the pint rather one-note.
