Firestone Walker Brewing Company's Porter
Big fan of this brewery. The porter is a very dark brown with a little bit of reddish hue; looks black without strong lighting. Appears to be decently carbonated and pouring produced about a finger of tan head. Seemed a bit fizzy and drained quickly. Getting a huge hit of biscuit and toasted malt in the aroma. Very rich, almost-raisin-like caramel. Little bit of roast. Little estery. Some wood/spice hops.
Hits a tongue a little dry and a develops a very sharp crystal malt character. Some noticeable fruit character. Not too bitter in the finish; more toasty than anything. Leaves a bit of a toast and wood taste in the mouth. Some subtle chocolate. Carbonation definitely not overwhelming. Medium body and smooth.
A might fine porter and well worth the price.
