Southern Tier Porter

Bottle. Dry, slightly roasted, slightly bitter and yeasty aroma. Flavor also dry and roasted bitter with coffee and chocolate hints. Not much sweetness, and also body rather light with high caronation. Ok but the malt is not very impressive.

Bottle. Dark red brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is roasted, malt, coffee. Flavour is roasted, malt, coffee, hop. Quite nice beer.

Bottled. Dark reddish brown coloured. Light brown head. Caramel, light espresso, chocolate, light grass and herbs in the aroma. Flavour of sterin, chocolate, light liqourice, light roast. Medium bodied. Quite dry. Light bitter end with a roasty touch.

Bottled. Rubyish amber colour, huge brown head. Aroma is nuts, roasted malts, coffee and some slight notes of chocolate. Flavour is roasted malts, nuts as well as quite big on the ashy notes. Also some caramel malts as well as mild notes of liquorice.

12oz. bottle. Slight aroma of darkly roasted malts, ash, must, cocoa and some faint raisin. Dark brown-black color with a very fine, off-white head. Flavor is roasty, sweet and mildly bitter, with plenty of dark chocolate throughout, along with touches of toffee, smoke, licorice and earthy, grassy hop. Lingering, drying, grainy bitterness late. Low in effervescence and a bit thin on the palate, body is medium. Decent Porter, perhaps not overly impressive, but passable.

from crackedkettle.com - dark brown colour with a rubish hue; little beige foam left; deep aroma of pralines, cold ashes and vanilla; medium to full malt body, a fair sweetness and carbonation; a moderate late bitterness; long chocolatey finish

Bottle. It’s a dark, dark, reddish brown beer with a minimal beige head. The aroma is big but not intense, with charcoal, dark coffee, cocoa and a faint chalky, milky touch in the background. Wonder if an infection is going on, even though the pour didn’t give that impression. The flavor suggests the same, still it’s pretty damn good, with lots of coffee, chocolate, heavily roasted malts and some hoppy and roasted bitterness. Full-bodied, quite smooth and pleasantly carbonated. The finish is lasting, with the hoppy bitterness lasting for the longest time, and there’s also lots of dry, dark coffee and some sweeter chocolate. Even though there’s some disturbing aromas and flavors, it’s a quite lovely beer. Would certainly like more of this one. 090825
