  • Smells like an awesome breakfast sweetroll. Almond, cherry, and a hint of spice. Maybe the best aspect of this beer.

    Taste: Sweet, nutlike flavor, quickly turns to a light chalky dryness, with a sour, tree fruit soft finish.

    Overall, a flavorful and interesting beer. Basic brew is semi-sweet malt, balanced with charred bakers chocolate and light coffee. But there's more notes in this brew that make it both an original, and most tasty. Love this brew with the winds of November.

  • Non-traditional for a porter, but in a positive way. Very drinkable - not heavy. Unexpectedly light for a dark porter. Complexity that is totally unique that leads to a good taste.
