growler shared by jsprime with me, joel and joe. nice dirty porter nose.light on carbonation. slightly sour, no bacon, touch of smoke. moderately ok.

A growler from the Chas Beer Exchange. Smells great. One of the best names for a beer....ever. Solid color. This is a well made porter and I got the bacon on the nose. Not as much bacon as I expected on the palate though. A really solid beer but it was a hefty price tag... I understand the price tag. But still hefty.

Hooray! Back at the RBSG 2010 Grand Tasting I held in my hand a bacon beer. It was in my glass. It was in my hand. I smelled it. It smelled great. But you know how grand tastings can be. Somehow I never drank it. Now, FINALLY, I try my first bacon beer. And it was good. Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a dark brown color with a thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of smoke, roasted malts, salt and nuts. Taste is roasted malts, salt, bacon, caramel, tart fruits, hoppy finish. Medium bodied. Nice beer.
