16 oz. can. Received in a trade with tfontana. Thanks big pimp! Dominating, rich chocolate flavor with moderate roasted malt, coffee and some soft earthy hints. Bolder body for a porter with a nice texture. Well-made, above average.

Can from last weeks homebrew comp. Dark brown in color with decent clarity and ruby at the edges with a frothy off white head that dissipates. Bready toasty maltiness with hints of caramel and chocolate. Faint floral hops to counter. Should be more toasty, but it is tasty.
