Short pour @GB's Bottle Shop. Frothy pink head, hazy, pale grape color. Stuffy, damp, weak berry skin, earthy funk. Whipped cream, very tart berry, faint cinnamon is all I could ask for; thinning finish. Started off too sweet but ended up good-ish.

My can of beer from total wine but I hope this is the right place. On the label it says JoJo Bean Coffee porter but its the same ABV, so I guess its the same stuff? Pour is big and dark, has a nice tan head. Nose is a slightly malt olfactory but I don't really sense any coffee in there. First taste is big coffee, really big; like black coffee maximus. Its a big surprise, whew, black coffee fer sher. Big black cold coffee. The label has what looks like to be a bad ass mario, from donkey kong, smoking a pipe, is that possible? It tastes just like the the label looks. I wonder if they just added jojo to the label to attract attention. Yes, the finish is coffee as well. Well balanced? Not sure, its all coffee, right to the finish.
