Neustadt Big Dog Porter
No idea why this is retired, they make it every year. On tap at C'Est What? Pours an opaque brown/red edges, medium tan head forms, some nice lacing, good retention. Smell is very fruity, rhubarb and strawberries, light roast, some chocolate, biscuits, bit of cherry, kind of neat. Taste is light fruits with a chocolate roast and biscuit middle, wine, bready caramel, light chocolate aftertaste, decent bitterness. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium to high carbonation, kind of rough. Mouthfeel and carbonation were a bit whacky, some of the flavours are a bit strange together but this was okay.
