12 oz. can, pours a deep dark mahogany brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out port barrels, booze, and toasted caramel. Flavour is full of port barrels, caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Quite a nice port BA character, with a solid malt backbone. Very good.

Tap at the brewery - hazy light amber - medium-sweet, with a moderate bitterness, light oxidation/sherry, mild oak - a light bit of treacle and candied cherries - a bit of alcohol heat and flavor on the tail end - not as complex as I would like, and a little thin in the finish, but still fairly enjoyable.

Can picked up from the brewery - dark purple, nearly black - substantially darker than the base beer I tried at the brewery earlier today - the port adds substantial character here - extremely tannic, lots of dark fruit, chocolate, toffee, oak - there is so much port character, in fact, that the notes of the base beer are nearly washed out - I can't really complain, though, because the result is undeniably better than the base beer - exceptionally warming finish - delicious.
