Bluegrass Dark Star Porter

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into an English Pint at 49°. Color is a deep near solid brown with a hint of amber. Carbonation is light with a small fizzy head that actually has nice lacing. Aroma is a nice roasted malt scent. Taste is dry and roasted. Staring with a medium body it goes down with a light crisp feel. Finish is a roasted malt taste that gives a little chocolate and nut taste then ends with a mellow bitterness. After taste is dry as the bitterness builds a bit. Overall its a nice little Porter with good even flavors. (Bottle courtesy of jbye4334)

12 oz bottle pours a brown black with a creamy head. Nose of roasted malts bakers chocolate, inviting. Flavors miss that point though. Roasty and burnt malts that are far to weak. Light chocolate roast bitterness but so much water in there that a funny ashy, cola, acidic flavor lingers on the tongue. Not too great, but it may taste nice in my chili.

Bottle at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured a hazy dark brown with a light yellowish brown head. Aroma was full of malty notes with a roasted undertone as well as a touch of wood. Flavor had a more distinct chocolate note with malty undertones and a woody finish.

Pours brown. Nose is sweet malt, some coffee notes, hints of roast, and some grass. Flavor is sweet caramel, toasted grain, tannins, sharp hop bitterness, some cocoa, grassiness and burnt coffee.

Bottle, best by Jul 09. Poured a dark brown with a creamy tan head. Chocolate and roasted malt aroma. The flavor had dark chocolate, roast, coffee, and light hops. Medium body and a light bitter coffee aftertaste.

Dark caramel appearance with a medium tan head. It has a sweet, malty aroma. A dry chocolate flavor with a slightly bitter finish.

Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head that disappates quickly. Smells of roasted coffee and definitely chocolate coming through through as well. Bitter roasted malts give a decent coffee flavor.
