Tröegs Dead Reckoning Porter
Overall, looks pretty damn solid. Pours a deep, deep brown and looks just a touch viscous. My only gripe is the head that really didn't form very well and actually became a little soapy looking. Leaves decent lace though, which I do appreciate. For me, not a ton on the nose. Poured it into a snifter and really, I don't get a whole lot out of it. Sweet, milk chocolate and not a whole lot else. Absolutely nothing offputting about it though. Taste... Is different for a porter... but I really like it! Definitely roasty, almost to the point of being smokey. Starts off a bit abrasive, almost even sour, butthat disappears really quickly. Turns hoppy, roasty and chocolatey! Dark chocolate like crazy. It really does end up tailing off tasting a lot like I was just nibbling on some dark chocolate! Really enjoyable. I would have gone with a 5 but it really is a bit more rough than ideal... I obviously like it a lot! Mouth is nice and crisp imediately... warming it in my mouth, it becomes a tough creamy however. Really enjoyable. Not much more to say. I could drink a lot of this. I think it's bite might end up getting to me after... maybe... 4. I I can drink 4 of the same beer in a row, that = quite drinkable.
