Avery New World Porter

Brewed by Avery Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Boulder, Colorado USA

Bottle. Pours black with red mahogany highlights and a two finger tan head that lasts. A definite dry hopped porter, aromas of chocolate malt, roasted malt, spicy and pine hops, caramel, and a touch of booze. Again, undoubtedly dry hopped with flavors of chocolate, torched wood, caramel, coffee beans, and bitter pine hops. Slightly astringent from the hops and coffee presence, but also from the heavy roasted notes left over on the tongue. Great lacing is left all down my pint glass. Medium-light bodied with good carbonation. Different, yet extremely good and sessionable.

12oz bottle poured in a stem glass. ANWP pours black with a tan fluffy head. It’s nice looking. It smelled like raisins and charred wood. A touch of caramel came through as well. This porter is quite thick, more like a stout. That’s fine by me. The taste was pretty standard for porters. There was licorice, smoke and chocolate. The after-taste was persistant and pleasent.

Bottled, consumed on 1/12/08, Pours a deep brown with a minimal head. The thin skin that remains, however, lasts a long time. Aroma is alcohol and cherry syrup and chocolate and coffee. Rich roasted nutty flavor comes on slowly, as does a barely-there sourness. A touch of astringent tingle, a little alcohol warmth. Some lingering bitterness on the finish.

Dark but a bit thin, nice lace and head. Rich aroma of malted coffee and chocolate. Very nice flavor, malty and lightly sweet with tones of chocolate and carmel. A pleasantly subtle coffee presence that is nicely balanced by a moderate hoppy biterness. One of my favorite porters, quite nice.

very pleasant fresh hop, roasted malt and chocolate aroma. black with a mild tan head. Nice balanced slightly sweet porter. chocolaty, roasted, with a slight floral component. balanced. finishes slightly sweet.

Beautiful porter. Very tasty for the style. Aroma was great...strong coffee and bitter chocolate. Pour was near black with a thin one finger tan head. Taste was very coffee-like with a hint of chocolate. Strong roasted malt in the back of the mouth and a bitter aftertaste. Great carbonation. One of the best porters I’ve had.

Deep brown, almost black colour. Extremely pleasant and smooth porter with notes of chocolate, roasted malts, and prunes/raisin. Great smooth palate and a fine dry bitter finish.

12oz bottle. Very dark brown, opaque body. Over 2 finger thick, creamy and bubbly mocha colored head. Stays around for quite a while, only reluctantly fading away bubble by bubble. Tons of sheet lacing all over the sides of the glass. Good looking beer. Aroma is sort of dust, cocoa powder, resiny hops, bitter chocolate, coffee beans and dark, burnt malts. Maybe some licorice and syrup in there as well. Fore is bitter hops and astringent burnt malts, as well as some chocolate and coffee. Very roasty towards the midpoint of the swallow. Medium astringency overall. Creamy palate, appropriate mouthfeel to style. Finish is bitter hops and burnt coffee beans, then fading into a sweet dark chocolate and malt note that stays with you for a very long time. Interesting beer.
