beer_name: Samuel Smith's, The Famous Taddy Porter
text: Poured from an 550ml bottle into a New Belgium globe. Appearance: Pours a dark cola brown with a 3 finger foamy milk chocolate brown head. Excellent head retention and lacing. Smell: Sweet roasted malt and dark chocolate. Taste: Roasted malt and a touch of chocolate up front followed by a touch of coffee in the middle before ending with a decent amount of bitter hops and a touch of burnt toast at the finish. Aftertaste is light and fairly bitter. I wish the taste were a little stronger and long-lasting. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a good amount of prickly carbonation. Drinkability: Good drinkability. You could drink a couple pints on a cold evening. Overall: Good beer overall. Another fine offering from Samuel Smith. The only thing holding this one back is that the flavor seems to fade too quickly. Definitely worth a shot.
