Roast and coffee. Chocolate. Black pour with creamy mocha head. Finish is very light bitter--body seems on the light side for a big porter. Creamy consistency. Can from a corner bodega in San Juan.

Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's a hazy dark brown-mahogany with tons of sparkle, nice viscosity, finger-width creamy foam head quickly fading to a cap and no lacing. Aroma is sweet roasted coffee and malts with cream. Taste is roasted coffee and malt, slightly on the burnt coffee/sugar side, notes of toffee and nuts. Anise as it warms. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, never had Puerto Rican hot chocolate (interestingly, cheese is an essential ingredient) so don't know how well this approximates it. For a coffee beer, it's not overwhelming

16 oz. can. Poursr a clear, brass color, with a small, fizzy, grey head. The nose is grenadine, orange peel, passion fruit, lime zest, and a touch of almond as it warms. Sweet and sugary, with a little bitterness and tartness. Light body, with a touch of acidity and clean finish. Pretty nice.

On tap at the Brick Store Pub. Pours black, with a small, beige head. The aroma is molasses, cherries, cocoa powder, and cough syrup. Sweet and sugary, with dry, earthy funk. Odd, but interesting.
