Cooperstown Benchwarmer

Brewed by Cooperstown Brewing Co.
Style: Porter
Milford, New York USA

12oz bottle. Pours very dark amber, with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, toasted malt, root beer, and anise. flavor of coffee, nuts, anise, liquorice, chocolate and molasses. Finishes is bit astringent, with some coffee bitterness.

bottle, Pours a dark ruby. The taste is malty with a little breadiness. slight slight hops. It is kind of thin there isn’t really the traditional thickness of the beer that I was hoping would be associated with this beer. Would not buy again

Fairly average porter here. Pretty good chocolatey taste but a little too thin even for a porter. I liked this one but it isn’t a favorite of the style.

12oz - thanks beastiefan2k - Aroma is creamy dark malts, milk chocolate and earthy hops. Pours very dark brown with a huge head out of the cellar. Seriously, it took me 3 pours (draining it each time, to get a 12 ounce bottle in a 20 ounce glass.) Good lacing. Flavor is much better than aroma. Smooth chocolate and roasted malts followed by a decent amount of hoppiness. Palate is creamy then tart. Not bad, a little too heady.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt with just a touch of alcohol. Medium body. Flavor is again roasted malt with notes of burnt wood, coffee beans and a slight metallic note. Not bad.

coffee, choc nose brown color with tan head, flavor is coffee kinda roasted coffee some malts as well, has some warming qualities. smooth mouthfeel.

Dark, reddish tinged and translucent. I got a massive head, immortal out of mine even with a careful pour. This is way over-carbonated (just my bottle?). The taste reminds me of cola. It’s more sweet than dry, although there’s some roasted coffee there too. Some ringwood warms comes through after is warms up. I wouldn’t guess 6%+ alcohol. I like their stout better.

12oz - Pours a red/black with a shortlived tan head. Roasted nose and notes. Very well balanced. Really outstanding New York beer.
