Got in a trade with AZBeerDude72. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 9/29/2019. Pours very dark ruby reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of coffee, dark fruit, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, chocolate, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of coffee, dark fruit, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery, roasted bitterness; and yeast tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, brown bread/crust, coffee, dark fruit, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, chocolate, and light-moderate 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 bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is good. A bit too thin, but not watery. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is a nice flavored English porter. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, chocolate, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Well balanced English malts and chocolate flavors; solid earthy hops and fruity yeast presence. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A nicely enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Just a bit too yeasty overall.

Draft at South Rims. Aroma of chocolate and vanilla. Flavor has bitter chocolate, earthy vanilla bean and some roast. Thin body. Good stuff.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong chocolate cake and syrup. Medium mouth, sweet, light roast, chocolate cake, very good.
