If you are looking for a porter with substance, presence, character, colour, ... , this one is not it. Of course, this comment is at the risk of having a Thylacine slipped into my sleeping bag
I am also a little suss over the Spicy Ghost, which claims "wheat inspired" and flavour "haunted by orange and coriander", yet its ingredients show no wheat (either malted or otherwise), nor orange, nor coriander, ...
Maybe this is what is referred to as poetic licence?
I have one awaiting sampling. An experimental brew to which I actually added both malted and unmalted wheat, plus brewed with a yeast cultivated from a Weihestephaner Hefe Weissbier. So the jury is still somewhat out on Cascade's Spicy Ghost. But, as I said, a thumbs down to the Choc Mahog Porter. If you like porter, you will be disappointed with this one.
