Can, thanks Mom & Dad! Sweet caramel aroma with notes of roasted malt, chocolate and some coffee. Pours dark brown with a half a finger of mocha brown head that has good retention and very good lacing. Starts with roasted malt and chocolate flavors as well as having a nice medium body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes very smooth with sweet caramel and a hint of coffee balancing out the porter nicely. Excellent!

12 oz can. Pours an opaque dark brown with a medium khaki colored head that had fair retention. The aroma is big and bold with chocolates and cocoa. The taste is loaded with chocolate, caramel and peanuts. The whole taste concoction reminded me of a Reese's peanut butter cup. The palate was medium in viscosity. Finished long and semi-sweet. Overall: Decent, but kinda weird. Paired well with a Vermont white cheddar.

Very deep and dark brown coloured body with a thin, single to two centimetre tall tan and light-brown head that stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of fairly strong spices with vanilla, cream, light canella and a good deal of icing sugar, all with a pleasant maltiness with a noticeable oatmeal kick and some lighter wheatie notes, too. Medium-bodied; Strong caramel and light spice characteristics show through everything with a nice pungency, but subdued malt flavour with the molasses, vanilla, cream and especially the light spices showing through everything. Aftertaste shows the very strong vanilla and earthy characteristics with some of the cream and icing sugar elements right behind with a lot of malt depth, too. Overall, a very nice and quite strong, spicey and robust beer with a lot of flavour profiles and complexity and this just helps them all out without too much strength in terms of the hops or alcohol - this shows way more of the vanilla and cream than anything else. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Fort Collins, Colorado on 31-January-2022 for US$1,99 sampled at my hotel room here in downtown Denver, Colorado just two days later on 02-February-2022.

Taste at Trail's End. Pours black, with a small, dense, foamy, tan head. The aroma is strong caramel, light salt, milk chocolate, and chalk. Sweet and malty, with a mild bitterness. Light to medium body, with a creamy, frothy palate. This is a pretty solid porter.
