Barley Island Rust Belt Porter

Brewed by Barley Island Brewing
Style: Porter
Noblesville, Indiana USA

From a sampler: This beer pours a dark brown color with a ruby tint. Medium-thin beige head and sticky lacing at the top of the glass. The aroma consists of coffee and burnt chocolate. Medium-bodied and smooth with a decent mixture of coffee, chocolate and malt flavors. The hops come through pretty well in the finish. Overall this is a well-balanced and fairly well-done Porter.

This brew poured a small head of large light brown mostly lasting bubbles that left behind an excellent lacing and a semi-opaque uncarbonated dark black brown colored body behind. It had a very nice caramel aroma and a strong coffee flavor with some noticible caramel.

The head was medium sized, tan with fine-medium bubbles.The body was black and the nose was malty and hoppy.The lacing was good with this beer.The flavor was that of roasted coffee and the mouthfeel was smooth.

a pretty decent porter. nice and dark, reasonably thick without being like oatmeal. very little carbonation.
