On tap at the brewery in Everett Boston. Dark brown almost black beer thin tan head. Roast malt and chocolate aroma. The body is all over the place. Too watery. Some molasses. Some dark fruit. Hmmmm. Not great but not awful.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown almost black color with a finger’s worth of tan foamy head that fell off at a mild pace. Light messy lace.
The aroma had some nutty sweetness up front and then some earthy to grassy dry woodiness, somewhat in the hops.
The flavor brought all of this together and then had a light saltiness in it. Not sure where that came from but being an oyster stout fan, I guess I didn’t mind that. Added a little bit of ash in it right before the aftertaste which had some of that salty to semi-woody dryness. No finish.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Saltiness wasn’t distracting and seemed to not perform so much on the feel of this beer. Carbonation felt fine and the ABV felt fine.
Overall, odd porter or was this supposed to be an oyster stout? I don’t know but honestly if that saltiness was intended, well, it did come through fairly clean.

Pours a black brown from a can, nice khaki head with some lacing. Roasty aroma is nondescript, maybe somewhat nutty. Flavor is also nutty. First sip had a fishy note, but was dregs from the can, so not sure if it was somehow can-related. Otherwise roasted nuts. Pleasantly bitter. Very good beer.
