Golden Gate Park Porter
On tap at Beach Chalet on 7/14/09. A - Medium brown body with thin beige head that settled into a slim ring of retention and yielded a modest amount of lace. S - Subtle roasty and chocolate malt with a hint of coffee and scant traces of earthy hops. T - Roasty up front with subtle coffee notes. Chocolate emerges in the backend with some earthy, herbal hop bitterness that carries through to the finish. M - Medium bodied with a thin and watery texture and mild carbonation. Finishes with a touch of astringency on the palate. D - Decent porter, although I felt the mouthfeel was a little lacking.
