Tröegs Dead Reckoning Porter

Brewed by Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

Very dark brown pour with a gorgeous light tan, frothy head that is slow to dissipate. Aroma is quite hoppy, with earth and pine notes, along with roasted malt and caramel. Flavor is full of chocolate and earthy hop, with a secondary bouquet of caramel, roast, spruce, and pine sap. Palate is somewhat light bodied, but the nice dry bitterness from the roast and hop character is quite nice. Very solid and tasty porter overall.

Straight black pour with a froth-infested khaki head. The aroma is hop heavy for the style- pine and earth with roasty chocolate. A slight dark fruit element creeps in as well, as well as some dark sugars. The flavor is loaded with chocolate, roast, and a nice backbone of evergreen-forest hop. The palate is medium to full with lively effervescence and a chalky-roastily dry finish. Quite tasty.

Tap at pony bar. Poured a murky brown with a thin bubbly head. Nose was malty with some light hops. Flavor followed the nose. A very easy drinker with some chocolate and light coffee notes. Pretty nice

Cask.. About a dark as body as it gets with a nice transition to a lighter tan head. Strong hoppy flavor with plenty of coffee, chocolate and roast overtones. Also, simply one of the finest names a beer has ever had.

Dark brown pour tan head .... definitely taste the pilsner malt roasted malts and chocolate .... too thin for a porter but was drinkable .... thank God its only a seasonal

Appearance: Pours a dark brown with a decent frothy tan head. Aroma: Milk chocolate and ever so slight roast. Taste: Burnt malt, dark chocolate, ash, vegatal hops as well as some spicy hops in the finish. Mouthfeel: Low to medium bodied and high carbonation that gives it a spicy prickly mouthfeel. Overall: Not a fan of this beer. I will note that this beer was an autumn seasonal, and I received this the January after.

Excellent Porter. Aroma of caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, and roasted coffee. Appearance opaque black with tan foamy/creamy head. Taste perfectly balanced between roasted coffee maltiness and well balanced hoppiness with a touch of caramel on the tongue. Finishes perfectly. A winner.

Poured from a bottle. This porter poured a rich dark brown almost black color with a tan head that thins to a lacy head. First aroma is chocolate, and malt.The taste is great you taste the chocolate, upfront then the roasted barley it is medium finish with average carbonation. I enjoyed it very much. Oh and it also had small bits floating in it.
