Porter
I had this on tap at Rustico in Alexandria VA, based on a solid tip from Mike. The beer is dark brown/black in color, opaque, with a thin mocha foam. Roasted malts and light cocoa in the nose, just about right for a porter in my opinion. Very good flavor, this has some things going on for sure. The dominant note is roasted grain, followed by bitter dark chocolate and maybe some sweet malts behind that. I could imagine some coffee in the aftertaste but only hints of it. Medium bodied, I almost expected it to be a little thicker to match the flavors, but this isn't a stout so it matches the style well enough. Delicious and recommended.
