Elysian Perseus Porter

Pours a dark brown almost black with a slowly dissipating tan frothy head. Aromas of sweet burnt malts, little caramel, chocolate, and hops. Flavors of light roasted malts, caramel, hops, and a little chocolate. Semi sweet throughout. I liked the burnt malted taste it leaves in the end. Pretty good for a porter but some of the flavors that should stick out to make an excellent porter is what this one lacked. All around I thought it was pretty decent.

Bottle. Pours deep brown with a tan head. Lightly roasted aroma with sweet caramel and a touch of hops. The flavor is a little smoky, which I love, and and also has notes of coffee, roast and floral hops. Nice.

22 ounce bottle split in pint glass. Dark brown/black with lasting tan head and lace. Roasted dark chocolate and chocolate chip cookie aroma. Rich roasted dark chocolate mild coffee hint of smoke mild dark fruit and medium bitterness. Medium body and medium low carbo. Excellent mouthfeel. Fairly complex. Lots of flavor for the abv. I like it.

65 cl bottle, Seattle, WA. Frothy head that quickly disapates. Intense burnt malt aroma, mild carbonation with a mellow chocolate finish.

500ml bottle. Thick, brown-black color with a patchy, bubbly head. Rich and robust, with a chocolaty smooth finish. Minimal hopping as to style. Long lasting roast chocolate aftertaste. Right on.

A worthy representative of the style. Not great. Not average. Just a good liquid-candy refreshment.

Bottle from Mark. Gracias. Pours with off-white head. Slight coffee aroma. Light mouth and chocolate-coffee flavor. Pretty good, worth a try.
