Browns Whiskey Porter

Draft. Pours a brown dark body with a thin tan head. Some wood, not much whiskey, light chocolate and chalky. Roasty bitter finish. Not great.

Sample courtesy of the owner, Gary Brown. Pours near black with a soft beige foam atop. Woody and malty nose. Taste is sweet and roasted with maybe some slight vanilla.

Deep clear brown pour covered by a 1cm, slowly diminishing brown head. Blueberry reminiscent, peaty, soapy nose. The malts’ roastiness have been mostly eaten out by the whiskey. Rather dull, perhaps a bit toasty malt character. Soft carbonation, light-medium body. Sweetish, woodsy, anise-like. I can’t say I found this beer all that enjoyable, but it had the big advantage of being tasty compared to most of their other offerings.

In short: A nice woody and dry porter
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Dark brown body with a medium tan head
In long: A little smoke on the nose. The whiskey barrels really shows in this one. Not the whiskey part but a lot of woody barrel. Dry wood, dry liquorice, roastiness. The wood and roastiness make for a floury/powdery sensation similar to cacao but without much chocolate taste. Undoubtedly the best beer I’ve had at this pub although it had about as much competition as a 6’6” dude at a 100 meter dash midget race.

Tap @ the brewpub. Poured an almost opaque black with a ruby edge and creamy beige head. The aroma is mildly sweet with a light roast and dullness to it. The whiskey is very subtle and mostly on the tail. The flavor was roasty first with some light coffee in the middle.
