12oz shorty bottle. Murky, dark orange-brown color. Mild sweet aroma. The taste is all malt, very sweet. with a minimal soapy hop balance. Low carbonation, rather dull mouthfeel. The medium dark malt and lager tastes are interesting enough, and the interplay between them makes for a pretty decent beer, but it just the mouthfeel is a little too subdued. I’m sure this is much better on tap fresh.

12oz shorty bottle. Murky orange brown color...not really blonde. Sweet malty aroma. Light and watery, easy drinking. Faint citrus flavor and wheat/rye taste gives it a balanced crispness. Very minimal hop presence. Nothing great, but a decent session beer.

12oz bottle brought back from Wisconsin. I had assumed this was going to be a "big" beer, but at 4.5% a pleasant surprise it is. Big and bold in flavor, with a mild smooth finish. Sweet cocoa aroma. Opaque black-brown color with a rusty orange quickly diminished head. Wow. The chocolate and roasted malts come through so perfectly. This is one of the best Porters I’ve had, a style I am quite fond of.

Inconspicious beige head over hazy dark brown beer with red highlights. Sweet bready nose, and lots of milk- and dark chocolate. Then freshly made coffee, former aromas proving very volatile. Soft sweet, chocolatey flavour. Sweetish malts, colourmalts giving a very low-key bitterness. Warming up, a certain spicy flavour appears, alas under recognition treshold. Light to medium bodied, lots of grist slickness. Sweet. Not uninteresting, but still too sweet for my preferences, too worts- or tablebeer-like. Thanks, DA!

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a large, creamy brown head. Aroma is ripe with roast, chocolate, coffee, and a bit of smoke. Wow, that may be the silkiest and creamiest liquid I have ever consumed! Lots of roast, coffee, and light amounts of bittersweet chocolate swirl together in harmony. A little tingly in the end, lots of bitters and roast in the tail. Very enjoyable. Thanks to ughsmash.
