tap at Rack and Helen's - Pours a dark amber brown color with a small head. It smells of roast malt and a little coffee. The flavor is sweet and malty. I think there's a little maple in there and some coffee. I'm not tasting bacon at all. At the 9% they had listed on the menu, I expected a darker, stronger flavored porter and I checked to make sure they'd given me the right beer. The bartender confirmed it. Overall it's pretty good but if it certainly doesn't taste that strong.
