No idea what this is.. they poured the wrong beer for me.  But of course I’ll drink. Plus, he said it was a porter. That’s all I know about it

Poured into a shaker pint.  Very thin head. Deep deep brown. A few ruby highlights but not much.

Whoa. Heavy chocolate aroma with,, something I cannot put my finger on, but something sorta familiar. There is bit of roast.. but that chocolate, woooo, it covers everything.

Take my first sip.. wow is this heavy. Thick body. Very thick body. And more of the chocolate. There is a bit more roast in the taste than aroma. But that unknown aroma, can taste it now. Its like… ok yea, its that fake maple flavoring they put in cereal. But.. it works with the chocolate and roast. There is a nice level of hop flavor and sugary sweetness. Tastes like some kind of breakfast cereal.

The bitterness is not that noticeable,, but must be fairly up there to be able to feel it in this thing and sweet of a beer. But that body, its very intimidating. I don’t think I had a beer this thick before. 

Now that it’s warming, that maple flavoring and the hops are taking over, but the roast is leaving and the feel of the sweetness is growing. Really noticing how carbonated it is now for this thick body now. Not sure what the alc is, but I can feel a bit of warming in the mouth and up the nose.

It is a very weird kind of beer. It is definitly one of those where I can drink one and like it.. but between the thick and sweetness,  plus that fake maple stuff.. I think it’s a one and done.

If I had scored this at the first few sips I would have scored a bit higher.. but now that it warmed and can taste all of it..all I can muster is 2.5/5. But I think this is one you should try just because its so… different.
