Summary: I never expected another 6-pack on sale at Safeway to be this good. But I was wrong. This lush, dark brew looks the part of a porter, even a stout. But the carbonation is refreshing and the brew goes down quickly, not syrupy. It really has a borderline coffee taste, slightly sweet, but not so rich that it kills the palate on a warm day or evening. It's just great stuff.

Pupule Paul enjoys a bottle of brew in the comfy confines of home once in a while before snoozing off into dreamland. Please don't drink and drive. The sirens would wake him up.
