Dark brown. Thick head. Chocoately malts create a sweet palate, and there's a lot of chile over top of this. If you like a hot chile beer with a ton of chocolate, with a touch of spiciness in the finish, this is a good one.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 3/12/2018. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of nutty medium roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toasted dark/brown bread, molasses, licorice, and dark fruit; with lighter notes of smoke, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big nutty medium roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of molasses, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/grassy/spicy hop and roasted/coffee bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of nutty coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toasted dark/brown bread, light dark fruit/smoke, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a nice roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying/acrid/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a delicious English coffee porter. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Nicely rich malts and well balanced fruity/nutty coffee complexity; with light fruity English yeast notes and earthy hops against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

22oz bomber pours with a clear copper body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up caramel, pine hops and molasses. The taste delivers smooth sweet malts rolling into molasses and pine like hoppiness. Pretty nice. Smooth sweet and modestly bitter with pine hops.

Darkish bronze, light haze, small head. Heavy grapefruit juice nose, hint of citrus hop behind it. Flavor similar, the grapefruit is strong and forward, tart and bitter, with a light hopping and bready malt. Not well integrated between the grapefruit and the hops. Dial up the hops and dial down the juice and maybe.

Draft sample @ Florida Beer Guild Craft beer festival 2018. Dorée, sur col blanc. Arôme est fruité, très belles effluves de pamplemousse avec une petite pointe herbacée en rétro-nasal, malté léger en balance. Palais est fruité, tropical marqué par un caractère avantageux de pamplemousse, pointe herbacée pour un malt pâle et caramel en appui. Le tout est bien juteux, crisp et rafraichissant. Petite pointe de pils malté sur la fin.

Draft sample @ Motorworks. Brune foncée, col blanc-cassé. Arôme marque définitivement des notes de framboises complétées par un bouquet chocolaté et un léger malt grillé. Palais de framboises au devant gardant un léger côté terreux aigrelet de baies, le tout est contrasté par une bonne ose de malt chocolaté et de poudre de cacao rendant cette impression de cake à la framboise, l'effervescence est un peu faiblarde - constaté sur les 3 versions anniversaires.
