Eel River Certified Organic Porter

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Malty, with molasses and some strange herbal notes. The flavor has a slightly off malt sweetness. I can’t really put my finger on exactly what it is. Roasty finish. Not that bad.

Pours cola brown color with tan head. Aromas of toasted malts with lots of chocolate. Roasted malt and nutty flavors with a heavy dose of chocolate. Medium to full body with soft carbonation an a nice creamy mouthfeel.

Near-black, light tan bubbles coaxed, survive for a second, then no head. Light roast and dark fruit in the quite bland nose. Flavor is similar, a little more sweetness from some sugar and possibly chocolate, also hints of alcohol and off notes. Light body, short finish, rather sticky. Very bland, and so when the alcohol emerges, it really kills this one.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Very dark brown color with garnet highlights and an effervescent tan head. The head is gone in seconds. Aroma: A roasty nose with some raisin and molasses notes. Smells tasty! Flavor: Nice, even roasted notes (not too much or over roasted), chocolate, and raisin. Some coffee and wood notes emerge as the beer warms. Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium, woody finish. Overall: Very sessionable and very tasty!
