Can pour from Worldwide Wine & Spirits. Appearance is opaque black with no sparkle, 3-finger width rocky light brown head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, on the yeasty/earthy side. Taste is rich roasted malt flirting with a smoky/burnt side, nuts, earth. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and dry finish as taste with mild lingering bitterness. Overall, everything you'd expect from a quality porter. Not terribly complex but well done for what it is.

16 oz. Can shared by Tfontana, thanks Tom! We consume this 8 feet apart with only one person touching the can! Pours dark with good frothy tan head. Aroma is coffee and light chocolate. Taste is smooth, chocolate, light coffeeish and dry roasted texture on the finish.

16 oz can from Half Time. Hazy orange golden with a small frothy white head. Fruity aroma, tropical notes. Taste is more tropical fruit, and a soft, drying bitterness.

Can at Beer Culture. Hazy yellow. Nice white head, lots of spotty lace. Drinks boozy and a little sticky. Tasty, but lacks balance.

Can, from Beer Run. Pours extremely hazy dull dark orange with large foamy off-white head, some floating precipitates, faint citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus-mango taste, thin body, long finish. Good brew, except fro the floating junk.

Draught at Covenhoven: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is flowers and Belgian yeast. Taste is lightly sweet, but most dry. Light hoppiness. Lots of yeast and flowers. Very drinkable and very pleasant. I am a fan.
