Handwritten notes: I can't review a porter right now, the birds are signing, the grass is green, and if I listen very closely at night I can't hear the faraway "swish" of skates, "chop" of hockey sticks and "plunk" of puck against the boards. This is a coffee flavoured porter so overpowering as to make me believe that coffee has been added. I can, however, see a good beer through the haze of springtime. But this is my review, bucko, and right now this beer is not super appealing.
