Mendocino Black Eye Ale

Pours like night had fallen and the buffalo layed down for a nap. A decent head arises but falls like the buffalo to a thin sheet of silk. Aromas of roasted malty goodness. Full nectar with superb carbonation. A moderate roast intermingled with a mildly sweet malted molasses backdrop. This is in balance. Tastes more on the English side. The finish is long and roasty with a mild citrus hop cometh forth.

Dark brown, malty, sweet, caramel, dark fruits, little chocolate, little nuts, slight coffee.

Sweet malty nose with a touch of caramel. Nice flavor of caramel maltiness and some dark dried fruit. Medium to full on the palate.

22 oz. bottle in trade from Snojerk321- thanks! Poured into pint glass- poured dark brown with a slight ruby tint when held to a light source, dull carbonation, white ring around the glass for a head with some lacing. Aroma of caramel, evenly roasted malt, with notes of chocolate and coffee in the background. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt is slightly mild in terms of power but still noticeable, nice feel over all, finish has bittering effect. Good sessioner.

Bomber bought at Sams in Chicago. Pours a dark brown/red with a very thick light beige head. The aroma is full of caramel and nuts, some cherries and chocolate too. The taste is very nice; a initial fruity blast followed by a more mellow roasted malt, tons of caramel and some milk chocolates. A bit of bitterness and metal in the finish. Very nice porter. Full and tasty. A nice full moutfeel.
