What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Coffee, strong grassy/pine hops character, hints of caramel and strawberry. Otherwise pretty subtle and clean.”
Flavor: “Chocolate, dried plums, with a lingering coffee bitterness and slightly tart note on the finish. Complex, though not overly heavy or sweet. The hops character is fairly restrained; I was expecting a bit more given the aroma.”
Overall: “A bit on the sweet side with a bitterness that is hops-forward with roast as a second string. Caramel sweetness in the middle of the sip and a light alcohol warming toward the end.”
What the Brewers Say
“A rich, chocolaty, robust porter. It pours like the perfect shot of espresso, dark and rich, with a creamy head. The smooth caramel body softly balances the chocolate coffee-like notes. You’ll be surprised how smooth this beer really is.”
