Draught @ Albion. Opaque dark brown with small beige foamy head, faint coffee aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter coffee taste, with coconut flavor, thin body, longish finish with coconut aftertaste. Coconut is quite dominant, but not bad.

Aromaz are kind of a basic fruity tart combo. Flavors are similar to nose slightly on the dry side nothing too remarkable and actually kind of forgettable. Good body and decent finish but again nothing that stands out.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is hazy dark brown with mahogany, dark particulates, decent sparkle, finger-width light brown foamy head with fair retention and trace leggy lacing. Aroma is strong coconut, mild almond, roasted chocolatey malts. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, slick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and mostly sweet finish as taste with late bitter. Overall, the coconut dominates both the base porter and the almond. That's not a bad thing but makes it less complex.

Can pour from The City, Seabrook NH. Appearance is cloudy (fine white particulates), dark orange-brown with minimal sparkle, finger-width sudsy beige head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is rye, fruit, caramel. Taste is rye spice, caramel. Palate is medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, soft to average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a bit old so it likely lost its hop character but a nice fall offering.

Pours a golden amber from a tap, white head with some lacing. Aroma was slow to perceive at first, settled into soap and oddly Parmesan cheese. Flavor was citrus, a light floral quality and the barest hint of some umami somewhere. Nicely bitter. Good beer.

Pours a clear amber from a tap, was expecting darker. Nose is malt along with a spicy noble hoppiness. Flavor was unfortunately a little diacetyl-y, too much for my taste. Okay beer.
