When I first smelled the beer I thought my glass had picked up a musty smell but, it must be part of the aroma. As I continued to figure out the aroma, it did take a couple of minutes till it opened up, I noticed a wonderful rich chocolaty note followed by sweet pumpernickel, coffee/latte, and rich roasted malts.
The flavors are top notch. Chicory has a better roasted coffee flavor than coffee and that is what I’ll have to go with for this porter – Chicory. The chocolate profile is like a dark chocolate swirled with a rich thick milk chocolate. The toasted grains are pleasing.
The mouthfeel is just what a porter should be. Creamy, smooth, mild carbonation, and a flavorful aftertaste.
