Opa-Opa Steakhouse Southampton Porter

Growler from their brewery in Williamsburg, Massachusetts. It is a dark black color with reddish tinges under just the faintest trace of foam around the bare edge of the glass. Bringing the glass to my nose, I pick up some roasted nutty wafting around. The mouthfeel is full, teetering just on the edge of being considered "watery" but never actually crossing that boundary. A roasty sweetness swims into the flavor and leaves the faintest bit of chalky in the aftertaste. A very refreshing porter.

Cask Stillage at the GBBF Earl’s Court, London 08/08/2008 Roast aroma. Dark red coloured and a little rich on the palate with some alcohol present. Crisp bitter and slightly dry roast finish.

Dark brown with a small off-white head. Roasted aroma with a wood note, and a hint of smoke. Sweet and roasted malt flavour with a charcoal finish.

Starts with single-finger beige head. Dies quickly to single layer of fine bubbles that do not coat the top. Leaves light, spotty lace. The color is deep brown with an element garnet. A low lever of light seeps through. Seems clear. Chalky chocolate aroma; mild. First impression is regarding the thin body. The flavor is the best aspect of this beer: tastes like a Stout Lite--some coffee with milk flavors. No notable hop. Some oiliness. Overall, a mild offering.

A deep dark brown porter with a thin moka head. In aroma, light chocolate and coffee notes. In mouth, a dry powedery chocolate, a bit light but good, with coffee beans and lactic notes. On tap at brewpub, Inbièrenationale IV, May 2007.
