An American Porter base with a blend of medium and dark coffee roasts. First Ride is a crisp and assertive sip of liquid motivation. It’s a tribute to the dedication it takes to get through the day and finish it strong. Rich and nutty, but still bright, with a refreshing boost of caffeine.

Pours mahogany tinged black into a shaker. Mocha head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface. Cocoa aromas. Dry and crisp with cocoa dusted pit fruit and espresso front to back. Medium length charred espresso finish.

12 ounce can from the brewery by mail order, 1/3/22. Near black, large foamy brown head, good retention. Aroma of earth hop, roast, carob, coffee. Taste is cherry, coffee, roast. Slick. Okay.
