Shorts Publican Porter

750ml bottle 295/672 10/18/09 (Shorts Brewery)-Pours black with a big tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt. Taste of the same with coffee being more prominent. The ABV comes through on the back end of this full bodied brew but a very well balanced Imperial Porter. Another great brew from Shorts. Amazing how well this has held up since being brewed in ’06.

Bottle shared by Scott. Pours dark fudge brown with just a bit of head. The nose is rich with nuts and cocoa powder. Mild chocolaty flavor with a dry finish. Tasty stuff.

Flaske: Kulsort motorolie med et lille tæt mørkebrunt skumhoved. Kraftig duft af frugt og malt. Let brændt men igen er smagen tydelig frugtet. Ikke så megen karbonering men et lille humlebid allerbagerst. Dejlig øl.

Bottle #263 of 672. Black pour with a thick dark tan head. Aroma is a powerful blend of roast nuts and cocoa. Flavor is equally intense, if not quite as refined: coffee and balsamic. Quite thick. Pretty interesting, even if I don’t totally love it.
