COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Not a common style of beer by any means, in fact this style of Porter is a Bottom fermented lager rather than an ale. Traditional brewed in Northern Europe, this lager had to be strong to keep all the hearty northern souls warm. Again keep in mind this beer is brewed by Trinity and any beer we do seems to have an added twist. The twist in this seasonal is a choice to age the beer on some rare Mexican wood known as Cauchalalate. This wood imparts a certain dryness accompanied by chocolate and coffee flavors. We think it’s the perfect match for the style, and we know you will agree! 8.5% ABV

On tap at Falling Rock. More like an American Dark Lager or Schwarzbier. Too much residual sugar. Dusty.

onceblind (2534) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAR 16, 2012

At 2012 Avery Strong Ale Fest. Dark dark brown with a thin light tan head. Aroma has some brown malts and chocolaty esters with a light pale malt undertone. Taste is sweet with toffee and roasted caramalt tones, with some earthiness, not much bitterness or hop presence but it isn’t cloying. Just a dusty brown ale, lacking body.

Tap @ Trinity. Deep brown (not black) appearance with a light brown head. Roasty malty, chocolate, coffee aroma. Flavor was very smooth, dark roasty malty with notes of espresso and chocolate. I really didn’t get the wood. Tasty beer.

On tap at Trinity poured a hazy brown with a lasting tan head. Aromas of cocoa, carmel, light vanilla, light roastiness and a hint of smoke. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of milk chocolate, carmel, coffee and light roastiness with a smooth lingering chocolatey finish.
