Thanks Tom, aroma is orange peel, chocolate. Really nice mouthfeel for a porter. Taste is sweet orange, chocolate, with a slight bitterness that lingers in the finish.

Can pour from the brewery. Opaque black, light sparkle, decent head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is leathery, earthy malt, milk chocolate and orange. Taste is strong orange, leathery/earthy malt with anise, late chocolate. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and crisp, dry, somewhat smoky finish with mild bitterness. The qualities of the base malt don't play seamlessly with the chocolate and orange, particularly the anise quality I get in the flavor. Still decent but something just slightly off from working brilliantly.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. From the brewery. Aroma has bold orange peel and chocolate malts. Flavor follows with a really good mouth feel for a porter. The orange plays well with the chocolate nuances. Similar to the chocolate orange youβll find around the holiday season.
