Brewer: Atlantic Brewing Company (Maine, USA)
Beer: Coal Porter
Style: Porter
abv: 5.8%
Botte from the store.
Pours black with a bit of ruby visible at the edges. Two-finger head with a layer of large bubbles on the top; it doesn't stick around. Beautiful roasted aroma with nary a hint of hops. Light in flavor like a Porter should be and unlike most American interpretations. Mostly coffee, with light chocolate and a smoky aftertaste. The hops are a little bit more apparent in the flavor, but still almost not worth mentioning. Pretty good. I got a kick out of it.
