Wasatch Polygamy Porter

Brewed by Schirf Brewing Company/Wasatch Brew Pub
Style: Porter
Park City, Utah USA

12 oz sampler pack.. pours a very dark color with a frothy head.. the smell is chocolatey chalky and bits of hops permeate throughout the air.. the initial hit to the palate is medium bodied and lacking some punch I would expect from a porter... lower ABV but it still has a smooth finish which I enjoyed.. was decent not great.. the bottle art is cool though.. not cool enough to put this one into my tops though...

pours a dark ebony color with a soapy brown head. a bit of bitter hops aroma is of roasted malts. ok overall.

Bottle courtesy of douglass88 - thanks! Sweetish chocolaty aroma with a little tang. Coke pour with a soapy light brown head. Taste is very dry, lightly bitter, with ash, roast, slight cocoa and a little sourness. Light papery hops. Aggressive without a lot of carbonation or body. Average porter, chalk up another victim to the limiting alcohol laws of Utah.

Poured an ebony color with two fingers of tan head. The nose was of molasses and coffee. The flavor was of burnt grains, cocoa, hints of roasted coffee and molasses. A bit of hop biterness is lurking in the back. Mouthfeel is rather thin. Overall, it’s an okay porter, straight up, no frills.

12oz Bottle: Pours dark brown w/ a one finger light brown head. Shows some nice garnet highlights & leaves a solid ring of lacing after the head recedes. Aroma is of roasted malts, chocolate & some nuttiness. Flavor: Roasted malt, light coffee, a hint of chocolate & some caramel as it warms with a burnt, dry finish. No hops to speak of & way over-carbonated. I had to swirl the living hell out of it to calm it down & actually be able to taste something. Not bad, has a nice roasted malt backbone, just needs some wholesome hop goodness to level the playing field.

12 oz. bottle in trade with <a href=/ViewUser.asp?UserID=58936>douglas88, who’s still waiting on bottled Flossmoor from me. Pour is much lighter brown, but in the glass, it settles to a deep brown with light highlight and a spongy foam. Smells nice, with roasty aromas summoning me to stop typing and taste. Taste brings in dark roast coffee, with a bit of harshness from over-roasting. Probably highly attenuated, so of course it’s force carbonated and has a bit of cola texture. But who can beat a name like that? Very sessionable, still carries a bit of alcohol, and then a hint of peat, and finally, some baked apple. For a low-alcohol beer trying to stand up in the same class as Alpha Claus, this starts out unassuming, then picks up some interesting complexity along the way, ending with a light coating of malt on the roof of the mouth.

I had this on tap in the Utah airport. I love the name and the beer isnt too bad either. Very dark pur wtih a cream colored head and a nice roasty flavor. Mouthfeel is a tad watery, but flavor is good.

Brilliant copperish brown, almost black. Some tan head, quickly falling. Light aroma: some toast and roasty with alcoholic notes. Wonderfully roasted immediate flavor, nothing after. Relatively thin.
