Brewed by: Allagash Brewing Company, Portland, Maine
Description (from the website): "Inspired by the tempting combination of chocolate and orange, we created this smooth porter. Cocoa nibs deliver notes of dark chocolate and roast coffee, while a combination of sweet orange peel and orange zest draw out a hint of citrus in the beer’s finish."
Would I buy it again? If you go into this beer expecting orange or citrus flavor, you're going to be disappointed. However, that doesn't mean the orange isn't doing anything here; what the citrus does is lighten what would otherwise be a very heavy, dense porter. It's still pretty thick, but it's much easier to drink than you'd expect. It wasn't what I thought it would be, but it is still very good, and I probably would buy this again.
