Zea Ponchartrain Porter

Brewed by Heiner Brau
Style: Porter
Covington, Louisiana USA

Pours a dark ruby black .. low head ring .. smell is of sour red cherry skins, tar, and rotten apple from a musky cellar .. . Can tell age/light damage but it actually works with this brew, in a way .. chocolate covered cherry and a weird slight sour twinge, almsot like a Bells Cherry Stout, in a 3rd dimension kind of way.. decent, i bet fresh this shit is actually nice!

I think foosball is a combination of soccer and shish kabobs.

12oz bottle-pours a light brown head and mahogany color. Aroma is dark malt-chocolate/molasses, dark fruit-cherry/raisin, some hops. Taste is dark malt-chocolate/molasses/ash/licorice, dark fruit-cherry/raisin, some hops. Medium body, finishes a bit thin. Interesting/unique.

Clear dark brown and tan colored body. Has a bit of a strange smell, reminds me of battery acid and motor oil, some thyme and smoky oil scents, perhaps some vegetable sourness in the nose as well. The flavor I can’t say is very good. Texture is acidic, lactic; flavor is ashy, bland, rough. Something here is wrong.

Pour is dark brown with a thin tan head...smell is cocoa, butter, sweet coffee...taste is watery and slightly burnt...

(Bottle) Pours a dark burgundy body with a moderate beige head. Aroma of smoke, fruitiness, and ash tray. Flavor of toasted malt, dust, and smoke with an indescribable funkiness in the finish.

Burt coffe and olives awake the nose like a greek breakfast in hell. Flavour had foul bitter malts, like opa used to leave rotting on the back of the villa, exposed to the sea water and fish guts. After taste was a peice of buttered toast that was used as an ashtray for a cigar.

Bottle at 2006 Chromefest: probably the worst beer of the night for me. Ash aroma and cigarettes. Cigarette ash in the flavor with a touch of chocolate. Somewhat sour finish yet short and watery. Not very good.

BOttle. Husky, muddy, hay, hazy dark brown almost black with a medium beige ring of bubbles. HIGH husk, cigarettes butt, vinegar, too smokey and full of dirty muddy flavors to enjoy. What in the heel did they use for brew water? Was it run off from Bourbon street?
