This Coffee Porter pours a beautiful cascade going up the glass, much like a nitro draught beer pour. The beer is brown/black in color with a light brown creamy head that perisits. The aroma is all fresh coffee with some roasty notes and faint chocolate. The flavor is all coffee at the start and a vanilla milk chocolate taste follows, but finishes quite dry. The mouthfeel is somewhat thin with medium carbonation and faint hop presence. Overall this beer is not as smooth and creamy as I would have enjoyed, but a solid Coffee Porter and very drinkable especially for breakfast.
