Yuengling Dark Brewed Porter

Brewed by Yuengling Brewery
Style: Porter
Pottsville, Pennsylvania USA

I’m shocked. This porter was actually quite good. Roasty malts, with a caramel flavor.

12-oz. Thanks, BeachBum25! Pours black, if only just. There are some ruby-ish highlights, and there’s a head that towers over the beer, rocky and tan. Almost vacant nose, maybe a bit of malt sweet in there. Nice mild roast and a wee smidge of chocolate in there. A little bit of puckery soapiness on the finish; not bad for a high-volume brewery, though. Nice beer.

Dark black body with a small brown head. Dry roasted malt aroma. Dry molassas and caramel flavor.

If you’ve had the Black & Tan you know what this taste like being 60% of it is in the B&T. A BMC’s version of a porter so you know it’s going to be weaker, thinner, and less flavorful than a lot of porters you’ve had. But it does make it a very easy drinking beer that does have some flavor to it and is something you could drink like a pale lager on a hot summer day in the yard. Slight roasted and crystal malts, some chocolate, little hop bite, not bad.

Looks like a soda with its dark caramel-brown body and fast receding sudsy, light tan head. Aroma of prominent coffee, light anise, dark chocolate, and sweet malt syrup. Flavor of dark syrupy malt with a lingering, somewhat cloying sweetness. Full-flavored with some redeeming qualities, but overall this is not very appealing.

A really good beer from around the way. I just had it for the first time and it was great.

the prize beer from this brewery for sure. those of you who don’t like dark beer (i imagine there aren’t many on here) might have to make an exception if yuengling is your best choice. this blows the lager out of the water. pours thick full darkruby.. is mellow with burnt coffee and slightly malty chocolate. .. i attend small school in a college town in PA so this is liike the only porter we get. its not that good for what it is but id much rather have this than any other yuengling. it still resembles their lager in aroma and in that it has a funky aftertaste and gets gross towards the bottom. though keep in mind that even though this is at the top of the yuengling list, it’s near the bottom of the porter list.

Yuengling Porter pours a dark brown with a fairly thick head with a lovely lace. The aroma reminds me a bit of coffee, with hints of toffee and chocolate. The flavor is somewhat sweet and malty, with a light hoppy finish. Overall, Yuengling Porter is a tastey brew and happens to now be one of my favorite offerings from the company.
