It’s not The Perfect Porter ™️(that’s Edmund Fitzgerald), but still pretty good. Leans definitely towards coffee, but I get a slight cocoa aroma and some cocoa notes. Just the barest amount of sweetness at first. That increases as it sits.

I’m welcoming back an old friend. Haven’t had this since 2021 (too long!). Huge bourbon aroma but it has subtle chocolate notes. There’s a big bourbon presence in the taste but it finishes with cocoa. I also am getting subtle vanilla notes. Outstanding.

Founders came relatively late to the Oktoberfest game, but they have done quite well. There are caramel notes but they aren’t especially heavy. Toasty mouthfeel but again not heavy. The hops make for a nice balance.

Didn’t plan to have a red IPA after a red ale, but here I am. This is what was cold. Nice caramel aroma with some nice caramel notes in the taste. Piney, resinous hops. Not bad, but I’ll stick to red ales or IPAS, not red IPAs.

Wanted to pick up some “All Days” so I might drink some extra. I think there might be some Simcoe in here. My first sniff got what smelled like cat pee (yes, I have a cat). Citrus notes, like lemon zest. Very piney. A touch less body than typical.

Spaceman S. Inspired me to get this beer. My first check in, it was beyond my IBU limit. Now, it’s a really good IPA. The aroma is citrus, getting very close to lime. Bright, citrus flavor (grapefruit). Assertive hops. Glad I have rediscovered this beer.
