Purchased at Habersham Beverage Depot in Savannah, GA; enjoyed from my balcony view of the ocean on my final night of vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC. Appearance is a very dark black with no head, looks very thick which is surprising for the style. Aroma of chocolate, peppermint, molasses, smells intense. Taste is also intense, it does have a soy sauce like consistency, goes down relatively smooth and somewhat thick/syrupy. Molasses like flavor dominates the chocolate, slight bit of coffee bitterness. One of the thickest porters I’ve had to date. It’s good but not too good, happy to have tried it, this one almost tastes stronger than the 4.75% ABV states.
