“Complex Malt Character Reveals Layers of Coffee and Cocoa” –
on the bottle
Appearance: a nice tan head sits on top of an almost coffee like
colored body with some cola edges. Note
much on the lacing. The head was gone
before I noticed it was gone. When I
poured my second glass I had a nice two finger head that took about three
minutes to dissipate and it left a thin tan layer sitting on top.
Aroma: coffee with a roasted vanilla bean
Flavors: pretty much what they have on the label. This is
what I say, ‘sweetened coffee and semi-sweet chocolate with a dose of vanilla
bean.
Mouthfeel: light-moderate bitterness, toasted sweet malts, good
body weight for a porter, a lingering semi-sweet chocolate note on the finish
To the Point: I have to admit that I did not have much hope
for this one. But, I like it. I enjoyed a couple sitting by the campfire
the other week. And two is about all I
can take of this Porter because I start to grow tired of the sweetness.
Thinking of that sweetness … I know what could help battle
it … the right cigar. Click here to read the cigar pairing.
