Dundee Porter

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Rochester, New York USA

Red brown with large beige head. Roasted malt in the aroma that also holds some rye bread. Sweet flavour with roasted malt and coffee notes. Needs more power.

From the Bottle at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 11/10/2008 Fruit and malt aromas. White head. Dark coloured and smooth on the palate with a crisp dry and slightly bitter roast finish.

12oz bottle-pours a big tan head and black color with red tint. Aroma is dark malt-roasty, cardboard. Taste is dark malt-fake chocolate, secondary acidic, fruit. Artificial sweetener after taste. 2.2 Better when cooler. 2.4

Bottle (unchilled per goldtwins’ suggestion)... Clear, almost black, dark ruby ale with a mid-sized, creamy, cappuccino head. The aroma and flavor are all about creamy, rich milk chocolate. Tilts toward the sweet side of balance, flavor-wise, but pleasantly so. Full-bodied and creamy with near-spritzy carbonation. Chocolaty, roasted finish. What a pleasant surprise! Larry’s right; don’t drink it too cold... room temperature (70° in my case) is perfection. By far, the best offering from High Falls’ JW Dundee line! Big-time kudos to goldtwins for shipping this hidden gem to me!

Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a small, stringy-lacing, creamy tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet dark malt sugars and burnt toast. Body starts about average with a mild dark caramely malty sweetness and some biscuity doughy flavor, before a milk chocolatey bittersweet finish. A pretty drinkable and smooth beer, but the recipe/brewing could certainly use some tweaking.

Pours dark brown with a light brown tint (if that makes sense) and a tan head. Smells of light, roasted malt, vegetal, some spice, earthy. Tastes sweet and earthy with some light peppery splashes.

Dark brown color with a Diminishing light tan head. Sweet aromas of dark brown sugar and toasted sour dough bread. Thinner, fairly zippy feel. Light dark candi, sugary start. Toasted biscuit with some sweetened coffee grounds and a bit of alcohol creep in. Finish is quite dry and has a bit of herbal hops. Late in the linger a touch of roasted malt comes out. Just seems like a thin feeling, stronger dark ale.

Bottle in sampler pack from Kroger. Poured black color with an average frothy brown head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate roasted coffee aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium roasted flavor with medium bittersweet finish of short to moderate duration. Drinkable beer.
