South Shore Porter

Poured from a Growler Pour of amber fringed deep brown, with a urdyd glint. No head. Light salty aroma of oats with some roasted salted peanuts and a woody toast. Flavor adds some light shavings of dark Belgian Chocolate. Light rootbeers tocuhes. A hint of mellow cherries. Palate is a hint of oaky dryness and some silky sweetness. Standard porter, with a little less smoothness and depth than I would prefer. Drinkable, but with weak salty quality. Finishes with a bit of a harsh bitter bite.

Pours a dark black with little to no head. Aroma of roasted malts with some dark chocolate and coffee present. Very thin body - with unfortunately little to no taste. Very disappointing. Bad batch?

If you havent been to the "Deepwater Grill", do yourself a favor and go. The porter is not only my favorite "South Shore" beer, but it is by far the best porter I have ever had.

Appears Black Until Held Up to the Light...Dark Red Coloring with Small Tan Wisps of a Head. Sweet Malt and Coffee Roasts Aroma. Little Sudsy..Seemed a Bit Watery...Dry and Bitter at the End.

Tasted at the Deepwater Grille. Dark red color with a very thin head. Mildly alcoholic aroma. The taste is consumed with bitter malt and an unrefined alcohol finish. A hint of coffee. Quite thin.

Thick dark brown getting more amber as it reaches the bottom and edges. Dark ivory frothy 1/4 inch head, lace sticks well in coated sheets and bigger ink blots. Smell is a bit light but nice with a mild, dark nutty roast tone with underlying chocolate frosting notes. Taste is a bit thin but renders a super clean silky smooth feel and kinder, gentle flavoring of milk chocolate. Thats about it really; barely noticeable roast and bitterness comes through and has a clean, very light dryness off the finish. Liked the feel, quite clean and silky smooth, albiet thin overall in body, yet with a gentle dry finish. Even though this didn't blow my buds or really interest me, it was quite drinkable and would make for a nice seesion porter.
