      The head hit me and was quite creamy. I bested it without losing much position. The scent was smokey and deceivingly sweet compared to the flavor. Very strong body to this beer with strong tastes of coffee and smoke. Those are sweetened with a chocolate and almost caramel flavor. Over all a really good porter.
      I find the history involved in great lake beers is a interesting bit of character. Each beer has it's historical name and story and really gives a fun take on weird tragedy. With St. Patty's day coming up you may even see Conway's Irish Ale. Can't see em clearly but a lot of this mustache's hair is red.
