Liberty Street Tart Cherry Porter

Brewed by Liberty Street Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Plymouth, Michigan USA

MiBG Summer Fest 2009, Friday Session: Deep brown hue with a good creamy head. The aroma indeed has notes of tart cherries, chocolate, walnut, toasty bread and a touch of molasses. The taste starts tart and fruity before the sweeter chocolate and crystal malt comes to play. A slightly chalky finish is my only negetive comment about this brew. The mouth feel is smooth and lush and easy to drink which seems to be common place for this brewer. A nice porter that displays the fruity tones yet has the base porter still quite noticeable.

draft at the brewery. Very black, with a rich chocolate malt aroma and tart cherries. No alcohol heat despite its 7%, but it seems like cherry extract was added rather brewed with cherries, based on the intensity. Medium-bodied and smooth for a porter, enjoyable.
