Scuttlebutt Porter

Brewed by Scuttlebutt Brewing Co.
Style: Porter
Everett, Washington USA

Serve in English pint, Stem glass

Pours a rich, opaque sable with a thick, frothy, light tan head. Smoky, malty aroma has a firm overtone of molasses and hints of miso and coffee. Flavor has smoky, malty and nutty tones with hints of molasses and coffee and a bit of hoppy bitterness. Texture is smooth and fizzy, a teensy on the thin side but still good. Overall, not excellent but worth at least trying.

22 ounce bottle - $3.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Bottle lists ABV at 5.5% Appearance: Pours a very dark brown, near black body with a tall, foaming, light beige-hued head. Smell: Roasty nose rounded out with notes of burnt grains, baker’s chocolate, anise, ashen coffee, and zested lemons. Taste: Well-roasted malts dusted with licorice powder and given average-strength tastes of bittersweet chocolate and ground coffee. Faintly astringent. Lightly fruity, citrusy hops with a fine floral accent peering out from beneath the maltiness. Low bitterness. Hint of prune, then it transitions back to the roastiness until the dry, reasonably smooth finish. Mouthfeel: Scuttlebutt Porter comes just shy of being medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A basic porter that is basically good, getting the job done without any inherent vim or vigor.

Mahogany appearance with an average size beige head and good lacing. Subtle aroma of roasted malts, coffee and just a touch of smoke and chocolate. Earthy, bitter, coffeeish taste. Medium bodied mouthfeel with a bit more carbonation than I prefer in my porters. Dry, average length finish.

Pours black with foamy tan head and lacing. Notes of roasted expresso and chocolate. Balanced taste with a short bitter finish. Smooth and creamy.

it lacks any quality, malts and has a slight charcoal flavor. also has a minor cola taste. the mouth-feel is weak and watery. not much else

The aroma is less than average for a porter but does have toasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. The appearance is dark brown with an average head. The taste is like the aroma with a bitter finish. The palate is smooth but a bit thin. Overall this is an average beer.

bottle. deep brown with ruby highlights under a large, foamy, tan head. caramel and toast aroma. flavor has lots of burnt toast and some nuts and keeps from being chocolaty. almost more like a good brown ale. either way...it’s a tasty dark beer.

Rich milk chocolate and light coffee nose, dark brown, small tan head. Creamy roasted body, more chocolate than coffee, full mouthfeel, solid and very satisfying.
