12oz can. Decent enough appearance. Orange citrus, pineapple with a little bit of diesel...I'm sure this will be bad in another month, but still holds up now. Fairly drinkable for the 8% for sure. Sweet, creamy finish, not so far from a Milkshake IPA, or Creamsicle. OK.

Bottle (9/20/25) from Eddy's Beverage Center, Saratoga Springs. Clear, dark brown with garnet hues, light sparkle, ephemeral head with no lacing. Aroma is roasted malt with toffee, molasses. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Decent, non-adjuncted porter.

Draft pours hazy dark gold with thin foam lace. Crisp mouthfeel with moderate carbonation, bright citrus flavors and bitter orange rind finish. Very nice!

Tasted at National Mechanics Bar And Restaurant, Philadelphia.
