Otter Creek Stovepipe Porter

I nice dark smokey porter that is more like a Scotch Ale then the Winter's ale.

Otter Creek is a top notch New England micro, and they have created a top notch porter. A rich roasted barley malt flavor, beautifully balanced with hop. Nice dark black color, with a nice creamy tan head. Great roasted malt and hop aroma. Overall, the best porter I've found.

This is an outstanding beer. It looks as a porter should and tastes better than it should. The simple flavor actually helps this beer out as it allows you to concentrate on just one thing, enjoying the beer.

A superb porter, as should be expected from this very good brewery. earthy grainy roasty aroma gives you a good hint of what is in store. The flavor has the perfect balance of sweetness, hop bitterness, and bittersweet barley characteristics. Easily one of my favorites.
