A porter from Pelican brewing, this has as a prominent cocoa scent in the nose.
That’s…almost, but not entirely, the beer. The flavors here also offer a little vanilla to provide some sweetness to the porter. I find this to be a great shift from the go-to accompaniment of coffee. This choice helps make this porter stand out and gives me something to recommend.
As the beer warms up, a bit more roasted quality comes out; it stops shy of smoky but there’s absolutely more intense, dark malt flavors going on. Still no coffee though.
Really, a damn fine accomplishment from the folks at Pelican and I say give this a go.
A pint for Dionysus 
Must try sometime.
