Sea Dog Riverdriver Hazelnut Porter

Bottle, but from the label it might as well be a strawberry wheat. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet and chewy malt character, caramel light nuttiness and some burnt malt. Eh not so good.

Bottle. Pours a dark burgundy with a soapy tan head. The aroma is of burnt nuts, cocoa, and toffee. The initial flavour is of roasted hazelnut and molasses. As the brew passes the tongue the bitterness of the dry roastiness becomes a little more prominent. Cocoa compliments the hazelnut. Towards the finish, it becomes a little soapy. The finish is lightly bitter. Flavours diminish rather quickly, making this beer somewhat forgettable.
This isn’t bad. It starts off decent but falls apart towards the finish.

Frothy head capping a brown pour. Aroma is very nutty. Taste of hoppy hazelnuts!

Dark brown pour wtih a thick and lasting, creamy brown head. Nutty aroma. Medium carbonation, medium bodied. Flavor is nutty, sweet with some coffee and chocolate. Good enough porter.

Dark brown pour, tan head. Smells a bit nutty. Taste is chocolate and coffee with nut. Good bitter finish and well-balanced.

(Bottle at Bishops Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm, on 2009-04-10) Very dark brown and almost clear. Huge tan coloured head. Roastedness, malts and nuts in aroma. Full bodied and lightly dry palate with medium carbonation. Malts, nuts, roastedness, hint of coffee and bitterness in taste.

Shared with Barrios and Curly before going to play disc golf. Very dark brown pour with mahogany highlights and fading light tan head. Great nutty aroma with chocolate and toffee. Flavor is nice and roasty, slight metallic twinge, and some diacetyl. Lingering roast bitterness. Overall, a pretty good porter.

Bottle from Butters. Smells nutty, roast, and chocolate. Pours a light tan head with light lace and a clear dark brown body. Tastes roasted, hazlenut, and some chocolate. Bit thin finish.
