Magic Hat Ravell: Review


Porter brewed with Vanilla
Magic Hat Brewing Company
S. Burlington, Vermont, USA
5.8% abv

Appearance: black coffee body with a two finger tan head that leaves plenty of lacing on the glass

Aroma: light bouquet; roasted coffee, light chocolate and vanilla

Flavors: uhm … taste like a porter with vanilla; light dark chocolate 50% like; wow … fairly simple; when it warmed up the flavors were more distinct

Mouthfeel: smooth, ultra-light carbonation, builds a creamy feel as it warms up, linger roasted notes on the palate

To the Point: an okay to good porter, might be a good one for my wife to try … see says she does not like porters or stouts … I think it is a perception thing; anyways with Magic Hat I always remember Wacko, that ale made with beet juice so I always think they will have something crazy in their beer (perception thing).  Just a regular Porter here with a nice touch of vanilla.  I liked it more as it warmed up.    Drink this around 50 degrees F.
