On tap at Tent City Taphouse, pours a barely hazy copper golden with a small beige head. Aroma brings out sweet caramel, overripe stone fruits, and resinous hops. Flavour is a bit messy, with an incoherent structure: there's overripe stone fruits that've been largely attenuated out, resinous hops, and earthiness. Fairly muted on the finish. It doesn't really come together. Haphazard but not terrible.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown color with a semi-creamy colored sort of tan head. Nice looking stringy lace.
The aroma had a big rich chocolate malt, sweet caramel and then some dark roast coffee beans.
The flavor blended semi-sweet chocolate nibs to a mild caramel sweetness and a dry robust finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a velvety smooth sort of feel. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, nicely done porter that I could have again if I found it.
