YellowBelly Mummer's Brew 2014 YellowBelly Brewery & Public House St. John's, Newfoundland
Beer style: Porter Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are This year’s Mummer’s Brew is a dark, roasty, chocolatey, warming porter. It is lightly hopped with Williamette and East Kent Goldings both of which bring bitter, floral, earth and spice elements in muted balance with a significant malt presence.
It is complexly roasty. Dusty chocolate, coffee, burnt, toasted and roasted notes are augmented by hints of almond, dark berry, melon and vanilla. Both coffee from our friends at Fixed and cacao from the good people at Newfoundland Chocolate Company were added on the cold side. Little bitterness results.
Complements rich hearty fare. Matches well with strong cheese. Oysters are a particular delight with this one. |
