Tröegs Dead Reckoning Porter
Fair if a bit generic and tamed take on a porter. Presentation: 12 oz capped brown bottle. Design pivoting around The illustration of a hand emerging from a water whose waves spell Troegs holding a stop watch. Shows bottling date 071911, and a brief description on the neck. Served in a tulip glass. A - Deep brown pour, slightly short frothy head, moderate retention, and fair splashes of lacing. S - Soft nose, a bit of chocolate and roasted malt, nutty sense. T - Toasty malt, soft chocolate and coffee over the roasted notes, small bitter dash in the finish. M - Medium to medium-light body and carbonation with a nice finish. O - Decent porter that ultimately works pretty well, although a longer range would have been ideal. Notes: One of those that I passed for years, always thinking to try and never doing so. Finally here one finds a good take at a porter but one that I fear will be be a good while before I try it again.
