Bells Porter

Batch 7693. Dark black body with a small creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and light coffee. Smooth roasted malt flavor with some gentle chocolate.

Miinnetonka, Mn - MGM Liquors, 12 oz bottle. Dark brown pour, light mocha head. Earthy aroma with hints of chocolate - not as much as desired though. Flavor is clean throughout with some earthiness and bittersweet chocolate. Thick enough mouthfeel. Decent porter - expected just a bit more.

Bottle. Reminiscent of the expedition stout, but a little softer. Flavors of black licorice, chocolate, and coffey.

brown head like most porters. dark in color. very pleasent aroma. good beer without strong carbination

Pours muddy black with a small fizzy brown head. Aroma is nice, dark bread, roasted and nutty malts, strong coffee, and leather. Flavor starts well balanced toasted/roasted malts, nutty and finishes much the same. short clean finish. Medium bodied, creamy and softly carbonated.

Bottle, courtesy of DeuceDeuceOU, very light porter, with precisely the right amount of coffee and chocolate, very much a delicious beer, bells is spot on with this porter, i could drink this beer anytime.. a quality brew. Light mouthfeel in retrospect from other porters.

Good stuff, im on my porter/coffee kick right now and this fit right in. Good aroma, MUST drink when warm, had one that was cold and there was absolutley no flavor to it. When at room temp, very good, coffee smell and taste, very nice.

Dry coffee aromas and a musty, cobwebby nose. A little lacing from this oily black beer. Very dry palate with nearly a hard water finish. Other mineral notes exist, along with a bitter cocoa taste. Lacks richness, but is still long in the Bells tradition.
