This is a collaboration among three brewers: Stone, the new kid on the Nebraska block, 10 Barrel, and Blue Jacket (never heard of the other two)
It pours a dark brown, with some light peaking through and a small, one-finger head. Supposedly brewed with honey and jasmine, although I'm not catching either flavor distinctly, although it is really sweet for a porter. Very smooth, with evident chocolate and coffee notes and more carbonation than I expected.
I would never have thought to put flowers (calendula is a flower btw) in a porter, but it works pretty well. Great winter brew, especially since Spring is somewhat delayed again this year!
