Grabbed this pounder can from my daughter fridge while visiting cary, NC. It pours really dark brown with reddish dark brown hue visible thru it. Nose is typical choco porter. Taste is odd cinnamon, gosh, I dislike these new pastry brews. Its cloying with these odd spices that really makes a beer difficult to gulp. To call this a flavored porter is a misnomer, its certainly a pastry brew. There is really nothing porter about it in this stuff. Breakfast? Not sure. Would not purchase again. Not good but hey, I just don't get the mouth coating cloying pastry thang. Cloying is not really part of a beer, unless its a rude barley wine, no? There, you have it. Blah. At least its a little easier to take than a rude ass gag me with a spoon IPA.
