Park Tavern Piedmont Porter

On tap at the brewpub for lawschool prom. Nice color and head. Cocoa aroma and roasted coffee malt flavors. Pretty decent porter with a lot more flavor than many I have had recently. A little overpowering with the roasted malt but decent drink nonetheless.

Appearance: Near black body with reddish edges and capped by a small, off-white head. Smell: Mild aroma of unsweetened chocolate and sweaty dark grains. Taste: Dark malts with some hints of semi-sweet chocolate. Herbal hops. Earthy bitterness at the tailend. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Mild carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel. Drinkability: Well, I’m sold. A decent porter.

Fresh batch just tapped. The rating is of the second sample, as the first one was poured into an appropriate but soapy tasting glass. Choclate and coffee nose. Dark brown with soapy mocha head and good lacing. Better as warmed to room temperature from the cellar. A lively carbonation. Creamy bove-average mouthfeel. A bit like an imperial porter.

Cask Ale tasting at Sweetwater. Very nice porter with great malty taste and finishing "snick" of bitterness. I would have this one again

Atlanta Cask Ale tasting at Sweetwater. Aroma of chocolate. Taste is very malty with plenty of chocolate. Finish is bitter. Mouthfeel is nice and creamy. Good roastey porter.

dark with ruby edges, frothy tan head, sweet milk chocolate aroma, lots of rich sweet chocolate flavor, almost enough bitterness to balance, caramel and butterscotch sweetness, right or wrong I still like chocolate and butterscotch as a combination,

On cask at the 1/27/07 Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting listed as Robust Porter: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with an airy coating of dark tan bubbles. Aroma of lightly sweet earthy malt with a touch of dark chocolate. Body starts fairly sweet and caramely malty with a touch of black cherries before a toasty dark malty finish. A nice porter.

Pours black with a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of roast malt: predominantly chocolate but ventures towards coffee and spice. Taste is lightly sweet, with notes of chocolate and crystal malt. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with moderate. Enjoyable, the best beer I had at my recent visit.
