375ml bottle pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is sweet chocolate cinnamon spice and bourbon barrel vanilla. Taste is more of the nice sweet chocolate little heavy on the cinnamon for me but a nice bourbon barrel vanilla balance.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 03, 2023. Aroma is malt forward and rich with tons of milk chocolate, caramel, toffee and honey. Lighter roast, toasted bread, graham cracker and dark chocolate notes. Light alcohol notes with hints of herbal, woody hop notes. Pours pitch black with a large, thick, pillowy, dark mocha head that recedes slowly to a small, creamy, dark mocha head that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with loads of milk chocolate and bakers chocolate with a bit lighter roast notes. Lighter notes of caramel, toffee, toasted bread and graham cracker. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Light woody, piney, herbal hop notes that persist into the finish with lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low, but present, astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid porter. Really nice malt notes with some sweetness that is balanced by a fairly strong, lingering bitterness. A touch of astringency. Alcohol well hidden behind the malt and bitterness. Clean fermentation.
