Our robust porter utilizes a myriad of dark malts that impart coffee and chocolate notes. Medium bodied, balanced, with a dry finish.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two and a half to three finger khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some messy lace.
Aroma: dark roasted malts, nice coffee tones, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, subtle earthy sweetness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together sweet and roasty, subtle aftertaste of coffee & dark chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied; some sessionability, some smoothness but also some roasty grind on the tongue, finishes roasty dry and chocolatey/coffee-ish
Overall: nicely done porter I would love to have again.

So, this pounder can says american porter so I'm not sure its the same thing. At least the ABV is the same. Nice big and black darker pour. Good creamy head that fades after a few minutes. Very friendly dark beer nose, some malt in there. First taste is shades of old damp aged partially burned campfire wood. Has many attributes of a good schwartzbier. Even has the gentle attitude of a decent dark black lager. Yes, none of the bad manner of a baltic porter. Very good stuff, I'm liking this. Much better than expected. One of the better porters I've had recently. Good job SF!

Pours a very nice near black from a can. Big dark chocolate aromas, a little coffee, and maybe faint leather? Similar flavors. Finishes somewhat dry, enhancing the bitter chocolate notes. Very good beer.
