Reviewed from notes.
Growler with Doug.
My pour was in a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a soft hazy dark brown color with a flimsy off white foamy head. Gentle lace.
The aroma had some sweet milk chocolate with some light bready notes, light vanilla, super light on the cinnamon.
The flavor had the sweetness of the milk chocolate up front with a light crisp cinnamon spice coating some sweet and roasty vanilla. Light aftertaste of the chocolate and cinnamon. Not much of a finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, fairly nice porter that I would have again, though a little lighter in color than expected, there’s a lot going on.

Growler looks like a grapefruit smoothie smells great. A sweet orange whip smoothie with grapefruit. Soft mouthfeel with some tiny bubbles flavor is the same as aroma.

This smells great. No pee pee. Orange juice and grapefruit juice. Dude killed it with this one. Delicious. Piney with bitter orange peel. Fantastic mouthfeel. Thick, juicy, seltzer water and sweet citrus finish. Great job

64ounce growler fillled 2 days ago. Looks like pineapple juice. Pours mostly flat with a little carb forming. Smells like juicy fruit, mango and pineapple. Spot on mouthfeel but thins out at the finish. Nice. I wish there was more carb.
