Unplugged Old English Porter
I brought this one to the Ffej of July Party. I got this in a trade awhile ago but I am just now getting around to drinking it. A - Pours clear light brown with a nice one finger tall off-white head leaving spotty lacing down the glass. S - Smells of toasted caramel malt, toffee, coffee, and some light chocolate sweetness help to break up the strong sourness. Along with the vinegary sourness you get hints of cherries and dark fruits. T - Starts off with a bright acidic sour kick up front slowly giving way to a mix of lightly toasted caramel malt, dark fruits, coffee, chocolate, and cherries. Little to no alcohol can be detected. The finish has quite a bit of sourness, lingering through the finish. M - Medium body and flavor with moderate carbonation. Tart, watery, feel lingering for some time. O - I actually really liked this one. It was the last beer I had at the party and I think it was the perfect beer to finish with. It is complex, yet classic. The sourness is strong but not to the point of being overpowering. Very nice.
