A porter that is inspired by the flavor profile of Irish cream. The dark and roasty malt is perfectly balanced by sweet additions of cacao nibs and Tahitian vanilla. A toasty treat!

Pours black into an English pint. Creamy mocha head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Charred pumpernickel and molasses aromas. Soft and creamy with vanilla, marshmallow and milk chocolate upfront turning to petrichor and bark in the medium length finish.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger and a half of khaki frothy head which slipped off nicely to leave some light speckled lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, sweet cream, roasty coffee notes, sweet wafer malts, and sweet coffee notes
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet through a variety of different ways; finishes creamy and coffee sweet with a touch of chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; creamy smooth along the tongue - nothing distracting from anything. Great carb
Overall: Zero Gravity nailed this one! I would definitely grab this again.
