Commercial Description:
Four different malted barleys combine to create a distinctive, full-bodied beer with a roasted nuttiness, uniquely enhanced by a hint of hazelnuts. Smooth and creamy with the nose of the Willamette hop, this porter is a beer style unto itself.

Shared with Barrios and Curly before going to play disc golf. Very dark brown pour with mahogany highlights and fading light tan head. Great nutty aroma with chocolate and toffee. Flavor is nice and roasty, slight metallic twinge, and some diacetyl. Lingering roast bitterness. Overall, a pretty good porter.

Bottle as shown. Pours a dark ruby with a medium frothy light tan head that lasts awhile. Good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a roasted malt with coffee and smoke. The taste is a roasted malt with caramel and a nice smoky dry finish. A good porter from Sea Dog.

12 ounce bottle from Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA. Pours a very deep red color with a voluminous frothy head. Quite hard to pour, actually. Aroma is artificial hazelnuts with just a hint of roastiness. Taste is roasted malts, caramel and hazelnuts. The taste also comes across as artificial.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a huge, lingering tan head. The aroma is really in your face hazelnut. I can make out a little roast malt in the background. The flavor was more hazelnut and very bland otherwise. It’s thin and has far too little roast malt character and nothing else besides those nuts. What are they thinking here? Not good. (weird, I just noticed I’ve had 3 Sea Dog beers and rated them all a 2.4 total. I guess they’re extremely consistent about not being good.)
