Oaken Barrel Snake-Pit Porter

Brewed by Oaken Barrel Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Greenwood, Indiana USA

Bottle. Pours brown, with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate and malt. Flavor is chocolate, roasted malt, and some dark fruit. Medium. A pretty decent porter.

Decent sized head of varying sized bubbles. Sweet condensed milk aroma with some roasted grains and a hint of chocolate. Color is a very dark brown with some crimson overtones. Body is a bit thinner and less flavorful than expected but very smooth and super easy drinking. I would rank this a good "summertime" porter if there is such a thing. Some more roasted grains and light milk chocolate. Finishes smooth and pretty clean. A very easy drinking porter.

Pours dark brown with some red highlights. Smells like coffe with creamer. Mild bitter coffee flavor. Medium body. Dry and creamy.

Growler, via StFun. Pours a clear dark brown body with a one finger tight bubbled light brown head that retained as a thin film. Nice chocolaty and roasty nose with a nice hefty hoppiness. Very strong aroma. The flavor is nice, chocolate malt driven, with lighter roast balanced nicely with some leafy hoppiness. A little bit on the sweeter side. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a bit of residual sugar clinginess. Moderate fizzy carbonation cuts well though. Overall, a pretty darn good Porter. Very sessionable, this didn’t get tiring through the whole growler.

Slight malt and chocolate aroma. Nice, rich dark color with some reddish-amber hues at the edges of the glass. Starts with a big, toasty flavor and finishes with a balanced, coffee-like finish. Great mouth feel - substantive and creamy without being too heavy.
