May 29, 2007 Anniversary Trip 2007
5/18/2007: See-through mahogany color with a diminish tan head. Aroma has chocolate. The flavor is sweet and malty. At first there is a semi-sweet chocolate flavor that moves to a darker, morre bitter flavor due to the roasted malt mid-way through. This lends some chicory quality to the flavor as well. There is some of what I call the typical "Baltic Porter yeasty quality" lingering thoughout as well. Slightly dry finish. Medium body, smooth. There are lots of good flavors in this beer without being heavy. A very sessionable beer! My second favorite of the Saugatuck beers I tried on this trip (my favorite being the Bamberg Rauschbier)..
Draught sample (7.5% ABV) at Saugatuck Brewing Company in Saugatuck, Michigan.
