Foothills Peoples Porter

Draft sample at Knoxville Brewers Jam 2009. Poured a dark brown color with an average frothy light brown head that was mostly lasting and good lacing. Moderate roasted coffee and sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium roasted bittersweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer.

Sampled at the 13th Annual Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Dark brown, black. Tan head. Aroma is chocolate, roast. Taste is chocolate, roast, light berries.

Draught, #501. Black pour, big head. Roasted malt aroma. Very malty flavor, decent porter.

Dark brown almost black with tan head and lace. Hints of chocolate and coffee aroma. Chocolate and coffee with a light/medium malt bitter. Light/medium bodied and a tad watery.

Sampled at WBF in Durham. Poured a black color with a red tint to it - thin head. Aroma of chocolate and roasted coffee and malt. The flavor on this is more like a great coffee - dark, rich, and very, very tasty - with a sweet finish (chocolate, toffee and some caramel). Another solid offering from the local folks here at Foothills Brewing.

Brewgrass 2009 Dark brown small tan head. Rich aroma with lots of chocolate, some coffee and roast malts. Slightly bitter from the roast malts, but a lot of flavor here that follows the aroma under the roast malt bitterness.

Dark brown, almost but quite opaque. Brown, or maybe dark tan head. Coffee-ish aroma. Flavor has plenty of coffee, too, plus an odd but not bad medicinaly note. Nice notes of red wine, as well. Nice mellow hop bite at the finish. Sampled at Brewgrass 2009.

Draft at the brewery. Nice darkest brown appearance with a small tan head that settles to a ring with good lacing. Aroma is roast, coffee, and bitter chocolate. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, and some smoke. Medium body with a nice dry finish. Good stuff.
