Wild River Blackberry Porter

Brewed by Wild River Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Grants Pass, Oregon USA

12 oz. courtesy of the fine hospitality of dr rosen, who brought cases back this summer on a family rrip. cheers, john! pours a deep purply black with an outrageous towering fluffy tan head. deep blackberry nose, tart and vinous. creamy medium body bursting with carb. full on berry pie flavor, heaping with tart vinous fruit. bits of roast and malty sweetness creep in at the finish. long acidic fruit tart finish. great session fruit porter.

Tap @ Reno Festival. Black color with a light brown head. I was quite surprised and pleased with this porter. It was smooth with just the right amount of blackberry to make it interesting but not so much that it overshadows the beer. Slightly sweet and a touch of roasted malt. I had a nice chat with the owner who was staffing their booth.
