Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a three finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, sweet coffee, black coffee roast, earthy tones and a caramel/toffee malt backbone
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas to a robust roasty and semi-sweet to a subtle bitter toned quality; finishes dark chocolatey and roasty coffee toned
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a light roasty grit trying to nick the tongue a little bit.
Overall: nicely done American porter I would return to.

Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a quarter finger of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet milk chocolate and dark chocolate whiffs, some caramel/toffee notes; light vanilla, barrel notes, sweet and roasty coffee tones with some sweet earthiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet and roasty coffee to chocolatey and earthy quality; finishes semi-sweet with some dark chocolate bitterness and vanilla
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper; very smooth along the tongue with barely any barrel spice nipping at the tongue as I thought that would have happened but wow, it's just so subtle
Overall: well, daggum! Such a wonderful beer, I can't believe I was able to try this one!

Pours jet black with a light tan head that fades quickly to cling to the glass. Loads of chocolate, vanilla, coconut, fudge brownie. Has a nice boozy kick but really well balanced in. Really thick. A superb BBA impy.

Keg at Central Waters MKE, 7/31/25. Clear gold, medium white head, average retention. Aroma of very sweet vanilla sugar and not much else. Taste is white sugar, corn, pale malt. Tastes artifical. Not a fan.

Beige lacing on a overly carbonated mahogany coloured body.
Big boozy aroma with vanilla & bourbon.
Medium bodied, lightly carbonated & thinning out to limp back.
Bourbon, vanilla & berry tastes with a huge boozy.
A big let down. Far to boozy for the thin body & wishy washy back.
You can't win 'em all.
