Sierra Nevada Porter
Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights and a moderate tan head that sticks around for a while, slowly receding to a nice lace. Smell is roasted malt, chocolate, toffee and a little bit of hop. Taste is pleasantly chocolatey with some roast notes and a slight tartness that has lingers on the palate. The roasted grain really pulls through, but it backs up the chocolate flavors well. The hops lend it a nice little fruitiness that is extremely powerful in balancing out the malt. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied and big enough that it doesn't feel weak. Nicely done.
