Tommyknocker Cocoa Porter Winter Warmer

Brewed by Tommyknocker Brewery
Style: Porter
Idaho Springs, Colorado USA

From a 12 ouncel bottle - This pours a dark brown, sour smelling brew with a tan head of foam. Tastewise, it sucks... all sour ale with a hint of Cocoa in the finish.

12oz bottle- A dark body witha nice tan head. Aroma of cocoa andmalt. Taste of sourness with a little cocoa and sweetnees. Maybe bad but it should not have after a few months.

Pours just like a cola soda - dirty brown and extremely fizzy. Bad start right off the bat. Head barely had a chance to make a showing before it faded off into permanent oblivion. Some decent aromas of cocoa powder, roasted malts and sweet caramel can be barely detected. However, a very distracting and unpleasant sour or musty smell lingered in the background. Mouthfeel was just awful in everyway. Thin, watery with a stinging soda-like fizziness. Flavor very much like the nose but tougher to handle since you have to actually swallow this stuff. Some malty, caramel cocoa sweetness appears initially but is quicky followed by a fairly repulsive tart sourness. Perhaps I purchased a bad bottle and of course glad it wasn’t six; but serving this to your friends would be a good way to lose them!

Dark brown with white flecks. Sweet aroma of cocoa. Supersweet taste that is sour, dirty and dry.

Bottle Dark brown pour with little head. Wierd flavor. Pretty light and thin too, doens’t feel very portery. Pretty bad beer.

Dark brown color with minimal lacing and no head. Smells like a porter left exposed to air for a week or so. Truly awful saccharine sweet taste mingled with fish.

Nasty, sour, funky, bitter,infected, and medicinal. Utterly undrinkable. Just a sloppy brew. I can honestly say that this was one of the worst beers I’ve ever encountered. YUCK!! Drain Pour.

Cloudy medium to light brown color with a tan head, built about two fingers thick on the pour and then quickly settling out. Nose of milk and cream and toasted grains, light burnt toast scent with a creamy milk chocolate character as well. Smells pretty good, but tastes absolutely horrible. What is going on? Tastes medicinal, lactic and sour – in a really bad way. Infected maybe? I’m not sure, I just know it tastes terrible. I poured it out.
