Taster at the brewery. Pours a clearer, golden color, with a small, beige head. The aroma is perfume, rose, white bread, pine, and lavender. Sweet and sugary, with a dusty bitterness. Dry-ish, and fun.

Cask pour taster at the brewery. Pours a dark, nearly black, brown color, with a medium, creamy head. The aroma is raisins, vanilla, mild cocoa, almond, and maple. Sweet and sugary, with a good savory spice. Smooth, warming, and a little boozy. Tasty.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a reddish, brown color, with a small, bubbly, beige head. The aroma is dates, Malbec, brown sugar, plums, and dried orange peel. Sweet and malty, with a touch of bitterness. Medium to heavy body, with a syrupy, velvety palate. This is a delicious, complex quad.

On tap at the Boathouse Cantina in Salida. Pours black, with a small, frothy, beige head. Big vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, and some mild coffee. Sweet and syrupy, with no bitterness that I could find. Medium to heavy body, with a creamy, smooth mouthfeel. This is a quality, decadent porter.
