Can from the Packie Dark brown in color with hints of garnet at the edges. Huge roasted coffee on the nose and in the air as soon as I crack the can. Peppery spicy coffee aroma and flavor with some light chocolate and earthy hops to back it up. Really nice coffee-centric porter.

5 oz. draft. Hazy golden fog color. Aroma is light peach. It is indeed peaches and soft vanilla. Mildly tart finish. Mostly balanced.

5 oz. draft. Flavor and aroma are a match. Fruit, grass, herbs. Has a lemon peel finish. Lightly bitter and dry. Respectable.

5 oz. draft. Black color with proper carbonation. Good roast, chocolate, lighter body as expected. Proper Guinness clone.

16 oz. can. Aroma and flavor are a mirror. Soft roast, chocolate, and a decent amount of coffee throughout. The body is about correct for the style. To me it seems a bit thin. Overall, a very average coffee porter.

5 oz. draft at the Kitchen. Brown / copper color. Flavor has caramel, candy sugar, earthy grain. Mild bitterness of pine. Balanced. Really good fresh barley wine. The best Smuttlabs brew I have had in a long time.

5 oz. draft at the Kitchen. Slightly hazy appearance. Aroma is soft. The flavor is mild Brett, straw, bready malt. Light and refreshing. Mildy funky and approachable for the style.

5 oz. draft at the Kitchen. A very near crystal gold color. Flavor has mild tartness with soft subtle sourness throughout. Smoke mold comes in the finish and leaves a slightly ashy texture across the mouth. Not really my thing but can see how someone would like it.

Mint and soil nose, not strong. Clear yellow, thin head. Mint, chocolate, clementine. Medium body, easy carbonation. Interesting but not the type of thing I could really get into. Mint in beer doesn't attract me. I love the creativity.
