Flying Fish Coffee Porter

Formerly brewed at Flying Fish Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Cherry Hill, New Jersey USA

Pours dark brown. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Mostly coffee in the flavor and a bit of chocolate. Palate is dry, a little bitter, and a bit thin/watery. Not bad, but just another average brew from FF.

Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 29/09/2005 Dark coloured and strong in alcohol. Slightly sweet on the palate. Some dryness and bitterness in a coffee flavour finish.

"Surprised by this beer. The first taste was a little bitter. Has a very malty taste with a hint of chocolate and funky coffee taste. Overall wasn’t a bad beer."

watery watery watery. kind of beer that gives Jersey a bad name and keeps folks making jokes about exits and toxic waste. embarrassing.

GABF. Listed as "Espresso Porter." Pours a jet black with a cream head. Aroma is cookie and chocolate. Flavor falls flat of the aroma, with flat chocolate and coffee not doing much to tickle the tongue. Palate is smooth. Not bad, but could be better.

09.30.05 GABF They called it Expresso Porter. Aggressive coffee and earth nose. Very mild coffee flavor, more lingering peat smoke and a chemical sort of chocolate presence. Had a couple extra samples because I really wanted to like it. Gets a touch sour toward end where I’d have preferred some bitterness from the roast. Very creamy palate.

GABF ’05. Fruity roast aroma. Dark brown body, light tan head. Chocolate-sweet flavor with coffe earthiness; roasty tartness at the end. Decent stuff.

Sweet cocoa and coffee aroma. Cloudy brown with a large head. More cocoa and coffee, but blended with a mild roastiness throughout and creamy feel to the whole affair. Enjoyed this one.
