Sampled via growler at the Flat Earth brewery in St Paul, Minnesota. Pours a dark cola brown brew with a fast dissolving creamy light beige head that dissipates to a fine film. Aroma of toasted dark malt, some bourbon, vanilla, and a touch of dark chocolate. Taste is one of the smoothest porters of the series, silky with flavors of toasted dark malt, chocolate, some vanilla and bourbon. Finish is smooth, very nice balanced aftertaste of toasted dark malt, vanilla and bourbon. Of of my favorites of the series.
