A nice Porter. Strong brown pour with hints of dark fruit, big roast, hops and brown sugar. I enjoyed this one as the glass warmed.

12 ounce bottle
Finally I tracked down a bottle of the last Lake Louie beer that I have not tried. This one was just as good as many of the others. A solid porter that probably is under most people’s radar grab one the next time you find yourself in the Madison / Spring Green area.

Aroma / Appearance - The deep brown body is rich with a soft powdery head like the fizz on top of a soft drink. Malt driven and dense the hops are present as a second aspect. With a light trace of coffee it is excellent for the style.

Flavor / Palate - Malt, bittersweet chocolate, and an inexpensive truffle blend in the back of the throat. The light bitter finish eases from a full bodied presence to a lingering memory. A soft alcoholic touch is icing on the cake. Coming from Lake Louie this is another excellent product at a great price point.

12 ounce bottle from Steve’s Mineral Point, Madison, WI. Pours a clear dark reddish color with a medium tan offwhite head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of chocolate, some roastiness and faint nuttiness. The taste is chocolate, cocoa and a bright floral and earthy hop finish. Medium bodied. Decent.
