What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Combination of sweet fruity esters and tea-like herbal character with darker malt in there behind the cherry and cranberry. Floral and earthy, reminiscent of fresh-cut roses.”
Flavor: “The beer brings some cherry and cranberry with a light dose of chocolate and caramelized sugar. Floral, hints of rose and green tea. The sweet-potato character is certainly strange but adds nice complexity and accentuates the malt sweetness. Could use more roast or bitterness to blanace on the finish.”
Overall: “Unique. The sweet-potato character is really well done, though it’s certainly a strange character in a beer. It provides a persistent earthy and floral character throughout.”
What the Brewers Say
“For each single brew, nearly 1,000 pounds of sweet potatoes, from our own home state, present a robust mouthfeel and subtle flavor, spice free, that lends to the drinkability of our beloved porter.”
