Sullivan’s Black Forest Brew Haus & Grill
Frankenmuth, Michigan, USA
5.3% abv
25 IBU’s
$4 a pint
$10 growler refill
Frankenmuth has two local breweries, Frankenmuth Brewery and
Sullivan’s, and personally … I prefer Sullivan’s. I am sure I have mentioned that before on the
blog. The Frankenmuth Brewery is located
at the north end of downtown. Sullivan’s
Brew Haus is behind Bronner’s on Weiss Street.
While I have only reviewed two or three of their beers I
have enjoyed all the ones I have drunk over the years. Why do I prefer Sullivan’s … I really like
their Porter and the variety of different stouts that they brew. Every time I stop by they have a different
stout. I need to start reviewing these
different babies. The Pirate’s Porter
has been a very good Porter and today is about time I review this sucker. This porter is a regular on their beer menu.
I am at Sullivan’s so the lighting and the atmosphere is
going to be difficult for me to judge the look and aroma.
Appearance: pretty black body with a thin tan head and no
lacing
Aroma: rich roasted grains and fresh roasted coffee beans,
if there is more I don’t care for I like what I smell at this point.
Flavors: oh yes, I have always enjoyed this Porter;
medium-full roasted coffee, roasted and slightly burnt grains just makes the
experience even better, one could make the argument for a burnt chocolate
note.
Mouthfeel: actually, smooth for all the roasted and burnt
type notes, no to low carbonation adds to the smooth texture, low bitterness
(25 IBU’s), you get a coffee and/or dark chocolate like bitter
style.
To the Point: I still like the Pirate’s Porter. This has a very good coffee and toasted grain flavor and is always a favorite of mine. If you
like porters and find yourself in Frankenmuth Michigan stop on by Sullivan’s
Blackforest and enjoy a pint or two.
