Poured from an undated 16 oz can. Aroma is fairly roast forward with moderately strong coffee notes. Light honey, chocolate, graham cracker, toffee and caramel notes. Hints of alcohol. Faint floral esters. Pours black with a thick, creamy, medium large, tan head that recedes to a small film that lingers on the edges and in the center of the glass. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with moderate malt notes of roast, caramel, toffee and graham cracker. Lighter malt notes of chocolate. Quite a bit of coffee and lighter coffee honey. Medium light bitterness and light alcohol notes. Hints of floral esters and berries. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid porter with quite a bit of coffee and honey notes. Body and sweetness are well balanced. A bit of esters that I don't particularly love.
