Flying Monkeys Netherworld India Pale Porter

Brewed by Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery
Style: Porter
Barrie, Canada

2009-11-29. Dark brown body with a modest tan head and lace. Modest aroma has Newcastle like brown ale touches beneath a modestly hoppy character. Muted vegetation, bit mild overall. 6+ Flavour is odd at first, interesting hops, light vegetation, light citrus, mild roast and underlying malt. Pleasant dilute citrus lingers in the finish. Flavours come together better as the glass goes on. Average plus palate suits it. Decent. On tap at Volo, Toronto

On tap at Volo. Pours a deep clear black to brown with ruby highlights and a thin tanned beige head. Dry roast and sticky piney hop aromas. Just on the thin side of medium with a nice soft roast and chocolate Finishes a bit softer than expected from the hop profile, but with some nice light roast components and a bit of grapefruit bitterness.

Cask at Volo Cask Days ’09. Pours a dark brown with small tan head. Big fresh, green hoppy nose with slight roast. Flavour is dominated by nice hopping too. Nice bitter finish. Quite good.

Cask Days 2009 @ volo. dark brown with a soapy tan head. nicely cask carbonated. big hoppy aroma with some roasted malt backing. the hopping in this one is ample and really steals the show from the malts. good one, i hope it sees bottles as well.

Cask Days 2009 @ Bar Volo, Toronto, ON: Pours a dark brown, no head. Incredible aroma has tons of fresh hops, like they were just picked - amazing! Sadly, it lacks in any body with a light, generic flavour. Elements of this one are amazing but the taste, while not bad, was a bit of a let down. Would love to see this brewer try this again, they’re on to something.

Volo 2009 Cask Fest. Cross-style, it is a well-hopped porter. Stouty, there is mollasses. Pours dark with a soapy head.
