Dark, rich and smoky…this classic porter is brewed with 63% German smoked malt and makes a perfect after dinner (or anytime) sipper for those who love a “bigger” beer.

IBU: 24
CAL (12 oz.):
Notes from the Beersperts:
Brian F:
An uncomplicated beer. You can taste chocolaty espresso and smoke flavor. The smoke flavor almost over powers the beer. Porters just don't do it for me.
Rating: 4
Joby J:
A dark chocolate after taste. Not too smokey. A porter with a pretty good taste.
Rating: 7
Adam H:
It really has a complex flavor. The flavor is intriguing. I would search for this beer.
Rating: 7
Seems that Brian F's rating of this beer was a bit unfair, it's one thing not to like porters but as it is a porter it should be rated as a porter, not judged compared to other style of beers.
ReplyDeleteA fair point but the BBA rating scale is for all beers not just within category or style. Think of the reviews as a movie review, some reviewers may be better suited for your tastes then others.
