Porter
Appearance: deep black color, short, tan head. Aroma: interesting, ...ripe with dark fruits, raisins, dates, a hint of anise, not much more, a bit light, missing the usual coffee/chocolate connotations. Taste: high carbonation, little impact on the palate, negligible finish. Hardly as hearty as I demand out of a porter...too light in body, too little in the texture...misses the depth and flavor I expect...but I'll give it it's due, and not put it up against great standards. A nicely quaffed, easy, mellow-flavored, session-brew porter. Thanks to francisweizen for this one.
