Aiken Powder House Porter

Brewed by Aiken Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Aiken, South Carolina USA

Black with tan head & lacing. The aroma has some old hops along with light roastyness and a creamy mocha flavor. Very refreshing porter with balance & slight oxidation. Alcohol bite.

(Draught) Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head. Has a cocoa and coffee aroma. Flavor of chocolate, coffee, and little toffee.

Dark mahogany black, with a thin, dense creamy tan head. It has a light roasty aroma. The flavor is excellent with a big, bold roast, a little chocolate. There's a nice supporting bit of citrusy hops that are noticeable but in the background. The main flaw is that the bitterness is a bit rough in the finish. A stout-like porter.

Nice Cascade stout aroma. Pitchy with a silky khaki head. Very, very smooth - chickory, cocoa, lightly sweet (lactose?), mild coffee. Excellent pH. Some pruney fruit. Long building bitter finish. Not much CO2. A fine brewpub offering, but more of a stout.
