16oz can pours a watery black, translucent, tight khaki head. Nose has big malt and toast and clear tinny espresso. Flavor is nutty and malty, toast, coffee grounds. Full bodied and dry. Feels bigger than it is. Nicely balanced.

16 oz. can. Dated: 10-22-21. Aroma is rich coffee and roasted characters. Flavor falls the aroma with nice roasted mall in Boulder coffee. Mouth feel is thick for a porter and it shows a nice dry texture in the finish. I have sampled this brewery on sporadic occasions. This porter was a nice surprise!

Bottled 03/01/2017.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a creamy colored finger’s worth of semi-foamy head. Messy speckled lace.
The aroma blends sweet and roasty espresso, some dark chocolate, milk chocolate and then some vanilla bean. Nice layer of sweetness.
The flavor blends the sweet and the roast together nicely. Slight rugged robust beans of the coffee, cocoa and vanilla lead into the aftertaste and slyly move into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionably smooth sticky feature rolling over my tongue. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, coffee porter and it sure feels, smells and tastes like one. I would come back to.
