COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dry, mild porter was made from the second runnings of this year’s barleywine (which will be released sometime in early/mid 2006). Used a generous amount of English hops to produce a surprisingly crisp, drinkable beer with a lively aroma. Poured with nitrogen, it has a creamy head, a thin body, and a bittersweet chocolate flavor. 5.8% ABV, 32 IBU

I have a soft spot for beer derived from second runnings of other beers. Little Thunder may be from second runnings of a barleywine but has full fledged alcohol content of any porter on the market. Beer itself is on the dry side, but combined with the choclate malts and nitro pour its a tastey brew.

Very dark blackish brown pour with aroma of roasty coffee, malt, molasses, and fruit. The taste is heavy malty with a lot of chocoff and finishing fruit. Medium palate.
