Sierra Nevada Porter
Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a clear pint glass. Paid $1.59 for a single at John's Market. A-Pours a dark brown almost black hue with a full two finger, creamy tan and foamy head that recedes into a nice, even lace. S-Bittersweet chocolate and coffee malts and a hint of mildly fruity hops. Aroma is disappointingly faint for style. T-Chocolate roasted malts, slight hop bitterness, and toffee. Taste is not robust enough either. M-Smooth, but a little thin and not enough carbonation or texture. D-This is not on par with other Sierra Nevada beers I have enjoyed or with better American Porters from Anchor and Deschutes.
