Benchwarmer Porter
A. Poured black cherry brown from a growler into a pint glass. Small creamy bubbles slowly formed into a 2 and a half finger light brown head.Good lacing on the glass. S. The first smell to hit your nose is coffee, followed by bitter sweet chocolate, rich malt and roasted barley. It has an earthy aroma. T. Coffee, caskwood, barley, maple and nutty flavors. Lasting bitterness. M. medium bodied, carbonation was decent, a little dry, a tannin like wine. Taste better with the head still there, as it adds to the creaminess. D. I liked the bitterness, as well as the color and smell, although I think the taste lacks a little.
