Pile O' Dirt Porter
Appearance: Pitch black with no lacing or head. There is plentiful carbonation and the head was a light tan/amber before disappearing. Not too impressive, but a nice rich dark color never hurts. Smell: Nothing too special, mainly just malts. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I'm used to imperial versions of almost everything... Taste: There barely is a taste. Slight toastiness with malt and absolutely no spice at all. I understand this isn't a stout, but just a little bitterness goes a long way... This beer is easier to drink than water. Mouthfeel: Light for a dark beer, possibly a light-medium body with bubbly carbonation to make it quite drinkable. There is a slightly malty aftertaste that lingers. Overall: Not a bad beer, but overall pretty average. I would prefer a rich stout in its place, but understand that's just a personal preference.
