12oz, warm shelf, canned 12/20/22, drunk 6/20/23. Dark with deep mahogany highlights, high clarity, small, dark beige head, moderate retention. Get some caramel, maybe a touch of salinity with it, as well as fudgey chocolate. Almost smells like a bit of lactose, or maybe it's just sweet malt. Clean, though, with no alcohol. Bit of sourishness, maybe lactose? Or if not then it's the butter from the caramel? It's very prickly carbonated, with some semblance of maltiness, but a bit thin at points. Definitely giving it a bit of a pass since it sat warm for 6 months (though honestly, most beer stores don't fridge dark beers anyways). Don't think the salt and caramel add much; would rather just taste the porter character more, though maybe it's better fresh on draught, who knows.
