New Belgium Brewing
Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
6% abv
$9.99 a six pack
Appearance: black body with a nice one finger tan head
leaving some spotty lacing on the glass
Aroma: medium-light roasted coffee; light charred wood;
Flavors: medium roast coffee; toasted cocoa bean; I’ll stay
with that charred wood; 65% like dark chocolate bitterness on the back; toasted
and slightly burnt notes linger on the palate
Mouthfeel: medium-full body; very light fizzy feel from the
carbonation; burnt and roasted notes on the palate; medium / medium-full
bitterness mix with those roasted notes;
To the Point: this is a very good Porter; I really like the
roasted and slightly burnt notes – they make for a nice hearty beverage;
perfect for those cool nights of spring or cold winter nights that are finally
gone – thank God! I have enjoyed a
couple of six packs of this Porter over the last few months. I think this Porter will make a great
beverage to use in my March Matching Tournament. This is where I pair up a variety of
different cigars with a beverage to see which one is the best match.
