From the brewery: pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, sugar, hints if smoke. Bacon and maple are not really in force here. Taste is chocolatey, malty, and the like. Bacon is faint if there at all. Ditto with maple. Still a solid porter. Chewy.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a slightly transparent golden yellow color with just a cap of a little white head, slides off fairly quick. No lace.
The aroma had some acidic hints of sour-ed citrus and white grapes. Some cucumber sweet freshness with a little bit of tang at the end.
The flavor was sour all of the way through with some of the \"sour-ed wheat\" trying to come through. There’s no kick from the wheat, but the sour and the cucumber end up being in the aftertaste ever so subtly. Not much of a finish.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a slight sipping to almost sessionable feel about it. Carbonation was fine allowing the sour to be the harshness in this beer.
Overall, I’d say this was a fairly decent shot at the style by an American brewer to even show some creativity. I’d have again.

The appearance was a hazy brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that quickly slid off. No lace.
The aroma had some ginger, allspice, vanilla, nutmeg, grassy hops, light earthiness, brown sugar and molasses. Light cereal/oaty sweetness at the end.
The flavor blended in all of those previously mentioned aromas fairly nice. Quaint sweet sort of spicy aftertaste. Dry spicy semi-sweet earthy finish.
The feel was just a tad under medium bodied, decent carbonation. Some harshness, but that was expected due to the allspice/ginger thing going on. ABV felt fine.
Overall, pretty good for what Great South Bay intended and I could see myself coming back to this during the holiday season which is when I did have this.
