New Belgium Lips of Faith (Jessicas Ale)

Formerly brewed at New Belgium Brewing Company
Style: Porter

On tap @ Falling Rock poured a clear dar brown with red highlights and a lasting tan head. Aromas of smoke, fruittiness, coffee, cocoa and light roastiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of coffee, smoke, figs and light roastiness with a smooth lingering semi sweet finish.

tap. interesting beer. nice dark body with a decent head. aroma was hard to place. almost none of the expected chocolate, it was there, but very low key. something floral that i couldn’t name. the flavor was nice, pine and something floral that woke me up. sweet but balanced with a spice or hop that worked well. enjoyable enough that i ordered a 2nd pint. made a quick transition from the initila taste of sugary sweet light cocoa to a powdery floral spice with a lingering pine like taste.

Had this on tap at the brewery in a 4oz sampler glass. Dark brown with reddish overtones. Had a slightly sweet aroma with a hint of sourness. Could pick up the cinnamon and ginger in the smell and the taste. Also reminded me of raisins. Had their trademark belgian yeast taste to it that I’ve detected in their others like Fat Tire and 1554. Smooth mouth feel. Milder in taste than their Abby. Very subtle. Good sipping beer for a quiet moment.

On tap at New Belgium. Spiced porter, with ginger and cinammon. Poors very dark with a light tan head. A strong ginger intial smell with very little ginger bite. A cinammon after taste. Very good beer.
