Just drinking this now. I like it, it's full and chocolatey, with plenty of late hop flavour. The carbonation is a bit high, which detracts from the smoothness, but otherwise it's a great beer!

I poured this one rough into two glasses to stir out the carbonation because I like my porters a bit on the less carbonated side. This was nice and roasty with a good coffee presence. It's hard to tell where the roast ends and the coffee begins which I like. I like my porters to be a less hoppy than this one, but it is still tasty as is. Thanks!

Had this today. A little more carbonated than I would like, thought the top was going to blow off the bottle when opened. Great beer other than that, nice and roasty.

Seemed a little more like a stout to me. I loved the coffee notes, particularly how the roastiness of the malt transitioned so smoothly into the coffee. A little too hoppy. Overall, though, a great beer. Thanks so much.
