Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights and a thin tan head that retains well and leaves nice lacing. The aroma has espresso and dark chocolate notes upfront, along with some musk, tobacco, dark fruits, blackstrap molasses and a some piney hops. The flavor is roasty and astringent initially, with black coffee notes and some unsweetened cocoa, chalk, earthy hops, tobacco, dark fruits and alcohol. The mouthfeel is appropriately light and drinkability is OK. A decent porter that is held down by it's astringency and chalkiness, a bit more sweetness and hops and this one coulda been a contender.

Poured from a 12 oz can into a Dogfish Head porter
Dark, dark brown pour... nearly black with big fluffy off-white head. Nice lacing.
S: Roast and coffee. Strong java and lighter cocoa.
T/F: Just like it smells. Sweet and roasty... dark sugars, French roast coffee/espresso, dark chocolate, and some light hops for balance. Medium to light bodied... creamy on the tongue. A bit of tart roast bitterness at the finish.
O: A well done coffee porter. The flavors play well together and this was an easy drinking brew.

On tap at Funck's Leola. Beautiful to look at with a nice creamy head. Smell is coffee without being over the top. Flavor matches the aroma. Always a big plus for me. As others have noted, the mouthfeel is a bit thin. No matter. Wins on taste. Would order again.

Poured into a pint glass from a 12oz can. Had a nice, well-developed head, and a pleasant aroma of chocolate and coffee. The roasted malt comes through with a hint of sweetness, and the coffee completes the taste for a well-rounded swallow. The mouthfeel is just a bit thin for the fullness of the flavor, which I think is to the beer's detriment - a heavier feel would enhance the nuanced flavors present. Exodus is not a disappointment by any stretch, but it's not quite what I'd call "perfect".

Tasted in a pint glass from draft at O'Toole's on December 27, 2018. Classic American Porter, poured on tap it has a good head that stays and leaves a nice lace. It is defined by its chocolate malt, medium body, and smooth mouthfeel. Balanced by the Golding and Columbus hops. The finish has a hint of bitterness.

Had this on tap at a World of Beer location in Tampa. The beer had a black appearance with a thin white head. Rich cocoas aroma were in the nose while its taste was more bitter dark chocolate. The beer was, in general, very creamy. Overall, the mouthfeel was my favorite characteristic to the beer, with the aromas not too far behind.
