Hoppin Frog Silk Porter

Pour is a black with no head at all. Aroma is a decent coffee with some dark chocolate. Flavor is much of the same but it grew on me the more I drank of it. Lots of roasted dark malt with a nice bakers chocolate and a bit of crips hops. Fairly decent beer and much better at room temp than cold out of the fridge.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of coffee, cream, roasted malts, chocolate, dust, and a touch of piney hops. Poured very dark brown/black in color with a small brown head that disappeared. Opaque. No lacing. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of candi sugar, chocolate, roasted malts, cream, and a touch of piney hops. Medium body. Thin texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet, sugary finish.

First, seemed more of a stout than a porter. High amount of roasted coffee notes accompaniedwith the bitterness associated with coffee. The issue that sticks with me is I get no chocolate in this beer and that is what I use to differentiate stouts and porters. Still pours an opaque brown with a medium tan head. Aroma and taste are of bitter roasted malts. One dimensional and becomes boring.

This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a small sized head of foamy brown colored fine to large sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a nearly opaque dark ruby red brown colored body with no visible carbonation. The aroma was of simple dark malts. The mouth feel was creamy and smooth at the start with a slight tingle from start to finish. The flavor contained notes of dark malt mild chocolate with a hop prescience.

bomber. Pours very dark with not much of a head. The aroma is very creamy with suggestions of milk chocolate, vanilla wafers, a bit of coffee, and chocolate-covered almonds. Flavor is much the same, it kind of reminds me of a sweeter English style porter but with a very full body. It’s nutty and chocolaty all around with a creamy finish that flirts with fruity tones. This is incredibly drinkable and hearty.
