Commercial Description:
The complexity of this limited edition brew comes from the interplay between the roasted nutty undertones of Crystal, Chocolate and Black malts and the sweetness of orange blossom honey. Balance is achieved by the addition of Warrior and Tettnang hops. Ample body and smooth mouth feel enhance drinkabilty. Don't get stung and miss this one! 6.25% alcohol by volume.

I had expectations on this brewe and they are fulfilled! It´s a complex and well made one. Aroma has coffee, nuts, burnt wood and sweet malt. Palte is dry. I recomend this brownish red brew to all of U who like porter.

Bottle. Dark brown with a fierce, light brown head that almost disappeared. Intense coffee and chocolate aroma. Chocolate, vanilla and coffee flavours with just a hint of honey towards the finish. Fluffy texture, some alcohol. A nice surprice.

Bottle:Brown colour, with a nice creamy head. Flavor is coffee,dark chocolate and a nice bitter nose in the end. Nice balance. Flavor is exactly the same, with a nice smourth mouth feeling, medium body and a nice medium finish. Nice and easy drinky Porter!

Had on tap at Davis Island, FL. Pours a dark creamy brown. Has hints of malts, chocolate, and nuts. Sweet unlike most porters. Full bodied with a nice finish.

In the bottle from HyVee CB. Pours black with mahogany highlites. Has a thick dense beige head. Presents the aroma of a freshly baking chocolate cake. Big honey finish to the nose. The flavor is a big chocolate malted lactose milk sugar surprise. The honey flavor becomes dominant as the beer warms. There’s a mild coffee roastedness on the tongue during the mid-palate. This is a thick and delightful brew. I’d certainly drink this again. Perhaps I am rediscovering my love of porters?

A very enjoyable and silky smooth porter, with just the right amount of honeyed sweetness.
