Lafayette Smokehouse Porter

On tap at LBC. Poured a very small sized tan head that contained fine-small sized bubbles that quickly dissipated. This beer was opaque with a dark brown hue. The aroma was malty, smokey, hoppy and some caramel notes. The flavor was smokey and somewhat sweet with a slight aftertaste. The mouthfeel was smooth and a little thin. The lacing was very sparse.

Deep brown with ruby highlight which produces a short creamy tan head and good lace. The aroma hints of caramel, mocha, hazelnut, smoke, floral hops, and earthy yeast esters. The taste starts bittersweet with a nice hoppy and mocha presence. The finish displays a very smoky character with a minimal lingering bitter tone. The mouthfeel is average for a porter, lively, a tad thin, and overall smooth. A good brew worth a try if in the area and still on tap.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a minimal head of fine to medium sized off-white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was nearly opaque with no visible carbonation and a dark brown color. The aroma was smoky and malty. The mouith feel was smooth with no bite and mo lingering aftertaste. The flavor was smoky and malty with the smokyness overpowering all of the other notes that may or may not have been present. A one of a kind Porter available only at their brewery. A must try.
